Seventh Graders Address World Hunger
Seventh graders had an opportunity to practice global citizenship, a focus of their lessons this year, in a fast to benefit World Vision. Much of the class volunteered to go without food for up to 30 hours on April 17 and 18.
As event organizer and foreign-language teacher Lynn Offutt wrote,
The purpose of the fast is three-fold:
1. to raise money for starving people, by asking family and friends to sponsor students for every hour they fast,
2. to let the students find out firsthand what it is like to go without eating for a full day, and
3. to help students see that they can make a real difference to others who have less than we do.
Students had the option of fasting the for the day and leaving after school, at 6 p.m., or 9 p.m. Or, they could stay overnight in the school library.
The 43 who opted to stay played outside, took a campus walk, enjoyed games, watched a movie, and even held a talent show. Yes, they slept, too, with girls in sleeping bags on one side of the library and boys on the other. They broke their fast at 6 a.m. with bagels and juice.
In the past three years, McDonogh School seventh graders have raised approximately $16,000 for World Vision, a non-profit organization that works to end poverty and hunger around the world.
