Starting yesterday, myself and other teens from Holy Trinity embarked on a thirty hour fast. The whole point was to raise money and awareness about hunger around the world, as well as focus on our own spirituality. I'll admit, I expected to do okay because I've fasted before for Ramadan. And I was right, it really wasn't that bad for me. Still, it was humbling to pray when my stomach felt so empty. We did activities to keep our minds off of the hunger, and that included making and planting 875 wooden crosses. They represent the number of people who die each hour due to starvation. This is me with my "tribe."
