My 30 days would be more miserable without my boyfriend’s support who fed me free food from time to time, so I’d like to give a big shout out to him here — Thanks QT!
I have written some thoughts on this challenge here and there, and would like to share some of my final thoughts: I am very, very glad that I had the chance to experience how it is like to live with a dollar a day (almost). From this experience, I got a deeper appreciation towards people who actually live on a dollar a day for not just 30 days, but months or even years. I am very concerned about the rising food costs recently, because it is making the lives of everyone, especially this group of people, more difficult than ever. I sincerely hope that this food crisis will be solved by the collaboration among countries and people – having basic food and clean water should be the natural right of every Earth citizen.
It was also during the course of this 30 days, that I realized that I could use this plan to help people in need/environment and to raise other people’s awareness to these global issues if more people are joining in. I’ll definitely try this in a more or less similar format later. If you are interested in doing this, or would like organize a small group of friends/families/coworkers to fund raise for any issue of concern, I’d be more than happy to share tips on doing this.
Thanks for reading!
