It's a great campaign Beckoes, it will be difficult! Google 'Live Below the Line' and you'll find it. I can't wait!
Basically, from May 16-20 I'll be living below the poverty line. Which, for the purposes of this exercise has been valued at AU$2 a day. (They have an info sheet on how they came to this calculation). Luckily the $2 only has to cover food for me, for the 1.4billion (and counting) people actually living below the poverty line every day, the $2 has to cover a lot more including healthcare, transport, shelter, clothing, education....you get the drift. It's run by The Global Poverty Project and The Oaktree Foundation which, in my opinion, are full of some of the most passionate and determined, and ACTIVE people you could find.
Click on the featured blog to see why I think it's a great cause xxx (y'know, if you want). I'm not asking you to sponsor or donate (although you can if you want) but I'd love it if you'd take a look at the campaign, my biggest aim is to raise awareness for these two incredible organisations.
