This week, my housemates and I are going to be hungry angry elves as we deprive ourselves of candy in an act of rebellion against our greedy CEO - Santa! In all seriousness though, from May 16th - 20th we will be surviving off just $2 a day for all of our food ... time to get creative with lentils and oats! As a household of food lovers we anticipate this being a difficult five days of sugar withdrawals, food rage, spaced out conversations and generous servings of sleep. Though as students we have also had some training, with many a sad day spent eating nothing but dry cereal and toast. So we thought - why not use our combined budgeting expertise for a good cause?
We think this is a really interesting way to raise money and awareness for the 1.4 billion people who have to live on far less than $2 every day - and to attempt to understand their position first hand.
