Our biggest and longest challenge is coming up - the MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT Challenge!
This challenge will take place over the course of the next eight weeks, each week being a week focusing on each of the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals!
This coming week's challenge will be focusing on the first goal: end poverty and hunger.
Try to focus on keeping your food intake low and think of those who need food and drink and what you would do in their situation.
The first challenge will begin this coming Sunday (4th of September), and will end with yet another Saturday 4 Somalia the following Saturday.
Keep on checking the blog daily/weekly for our following MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT Challenges......................!

Cooking 4 a Cause!
Four special friends of mine have been giving their classmates a great example of how to make a difference.
Ella, Emily, Holly and Iris are all a part of our Vinnies group at school. But what they did on Monday was amazing.
Monday morning at 8:15 I come to school to find over 150 cupcakes with amazing and cool icing covering them. At recess, they sold nearly every last one of the cupcakes. The money that was raised is being sent to Somalia for those in the drought. What these girls are doing is amazing and I just thought that it would be appropriate to show the public how my friends are making a difference.
The girls were inspired by the Tasmanian Centre For Global Learning and the MAD(Making A Difference) Ambassadors of Tasmania.

Challenges to remember...
Thanks to everyone that participated in our Saturday for Somalia fast, because it is a truly bis commitment to give up your days worth of food.
Just a few things to remember:
Our annual Odd Sock Wednesday will be held for the second time tomorrow, so pull out your old, hole-y socks and wear them with pride!
Also, as I type this now, I am watching the news, and I can see that the Somalian famine is not getting any better, so we're going to give "Saturday 4 Somalia" another go!
And well done to our MAD (Making A Difference) Ambassadors for getting an awesome article in the Mercury today!
