World Vision 40-Hour Famine
As a College, we are supporting World Vision’s 40 Hour Famine (20 hours for primary-aged children). You will be able to support your child’s involvement and challenge by contributing financially – small amounts, gifted by many, will achieve a significant result! The children can participate anytime from this weekend until the end of the upcoming school holidays.
World Vision is a global Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.
No need to sign up individually; to access the St Andrew’s College World Vision site to donate please click here.
