Live Below The Line

Hello Gaters and Friends:

I've been following the Live Below The Line challenge by Unicef UK, today is my day 4, so far it has been very challenging, and it has taught me a lot about gratitude and understanding of what others feels. I know is not a complete experience, because living below the line is more than food and drink, is about all aspects, home, studies, health, and others. Living that will help to fully understand what and how it is to live below the line. I'm really grateful for all the opportunities that I have, and it eagers me to keep colaborating with Unicef UK, I know it'll be a lot better if I was in London, but sadly I can't leave this country yet, still, doing all I can from here, to help the children, those are who need the most.

I'm also a bit sad and disappointed, knowing that many of my close ones, friends and family, could donate through my fundraising to Unicef, and no one has done so, it's because I'm not Tom Hiddleston or any famous? is it because there is no reward for you? I say "hey, don't do it because of whom is doing it, or because you might get a reward, do it because of the kids, because of those children who really need it, and they need it now". Still, I'm thankful for all who had shared the link, but please donate, those kids don't live from sharing links, they need money to buy food.

Thank you so much, even though some may not understand what this really means. Pretty sure today, will be my most challenging day, I cal already feel that my body is not acting in its 100% and is the first moment that I feel a deep hunger, that requires a huge sense of will, strength and commitment, specially knowing that you have a way to satisfied, but choosing not to, because you are commited to it. It makes you realize, how strong you are, and how far you can go in the name of others.

And to finish, I invite all who can, do it, try this, stop thinking about yourself for 5 days, think about others, but those others who need more. Join Live Below The Line challenge on its world wide week from April 29 to May 3, challenge is to live 5 days below the poverty line, meaning: spend 1 pound a day, 5 days 5 pounds to buy all food and drinks you need for a week. Is very challenging, and for some may sound imposible, but If they have to live like this their whole life, so can you for five days. That's all Unicef ask, 5 days.

You can check for more information on the links below, and donate to my fundraising. There is a lot you can learn from this experience, and you won't regret it.
