#LiveBelow - gearing up

Kia ora e hoa!

It's getting close. We begin tomorrow.

If you don't know what I'm talking about - I would really like you to check out our Live Below The Line page.

We need your support. The Global Poverty Project needs your support.

So tomorrow, Elinor, myself and Team Enspiral along with hundreds of Kiwis, Australians, Americans, and perhaps a few more people from around the world, will all kick off the $2.25 a day challenge. Yup, that covers all our food & drink each day.

Our grand strategising & planning has resulted in what we pretty much decided on day #1 - rice, lentils & chickpeas to sustain us, a few fresh local veggies to give us the nutrients & vitamins.

I'm picking right now that we're gonna be hungry pretty quickly, but really this is just a tiny window - call it an exercise in empathy - to how people who live below the extreme poverty line cope. And we're cheating - only food & drinks, not all our living expenses, health, education, etc.

That's it. Final call. Sponsor us now!!
