2. Recruit campers and raise funds
Recruit campers and raise funds

Gather a group of friends or recruit from the public to run your very own camp! The minimum number of campers required is 10.

After the workshop, you will be given a complete tool kit and materials to help you with the recruitment of campers. You may give out Camper Registration Forms to your campers to sign-up. Campers will pay RM20 as registration fees. This will help you to cover part of your camp running expenses. Please note that transfers of campers to another DIY camp are strictly prohibited.

You will then issue coupon booklets to your campers, inspiring them to raise funds for the poor. We’ve set a goal for you so that they have something to work towards:
RM80 for students/non-working adults
RM120 for working adults
RM50 for children below 12 years old

Deadline for campers to return funds and coupon booklets to you: 24 Jul 2010
Deadline for you to return everything to World Vision Malaysia: 31 Jul 2010

The official Famine weekend is from 22nd to 23rd August 2009. We encourge campers to fast from 12pm on Saturday, 22nd August sos that we can all break fast at 6pm the following day (at the Famine Countdown event)

If you are unable to fast on 22nd August, you can choose to fast for 30 hours any time BEFORE the offical Famine weekend, and then come to the Famine Countdown for a celebration!

Refrain from consuming solid food for the duration of your fast.

Do drink plenty of water. Fasting would not affect your daily routine (unless you are involved in intense physical activities) nor your ability to drive.

You may periodically drink juice, Milo or soy milk, to sustain yourself through the fast.
