World Vision is taking the lead on a youth movement against hunger called the “12-hour Famine”. The Famine Program is World Vision’s global youth campaign against hunger for more than 20 years in countries like US, Canada, Australia, Taiwan and Korea among others. Other countries have their versions of the 24-hour, 30-hour and even 40-hour Famine events. In the Philippines, it is our 3rd year to engage the youth through the 12-hour Famine campaign. Our goal -- to rally the Pinoy youth to go hard against hunger while raising awareness and funds to help feed starving children.

With our advocacy and commitment to help poor families uplift themselves from poverty, at the same time promote awareness and social responsibility among the youth, World Vision invites the Filipino youth to join us in our common battle against hunger and through World Vision’s 12-hour Famine campaign annual event this coming September.

The 3rd annual 12-hour Famine event will be held on September 29, 2012 in partnership with the Skydome , SM North Edsa which is also going to be the venue of this event.

More challenges, more learnings, more surprises and freebies and more entertainment awaits those hunger-fighters who are willing to starve and help raise funds for starving children and families. For straight 12-hours of food abstinence, an overflowing, fully-loaded program awaits our hunger-fighters this year.
