Get Ready for Challenge Week, 2010!
Nearly half of the World’s population lives on $2 per day. For one week we’re asking you to join them. This Challenge Week is an experience designed to offer students a glimpse of how the other half of the world lives. Participants are presented with the challenge of living on $2 a day for five days while following a number of other rules. Throughout this week students are able to raise both awareness about global poverty and funds to direct towards their own initiative. Students are empowered through the funds they raise and the networks they build with others who share in the experience.
During the month of April (from April 3 to April 30), college students across the country will participate in our initiative, directing Challenge Week on their respective campuses.

Comment by Dallys-Tom Medali on February 19, 2010 at 6:41am - There are some parts of the world where people are happy with $2 and can fulfill all their basic needs. There are other places where people don't even find a dollar because there is no economic activity. The key point is whether communities have access to water, food, health care, education, sustainable economic activity, etc. This is the kind of initiatives that raise global awareness about these issues. Keep it up!
