Global Hunger Project Rules and Regulations


1. Stick to the $34.33 budget. No more than $34.33 should be spent on any food / drink items throughout the week.

(By the way, My Week will consist of Monday-Friday Breakfast and Lunch and then Monday-Friday at Breakfast only for a total of 21 meals, the same as one solid week three meals a day. I really wanted to stick to this, so I came up with an adaptation to make it real! :)
2. You should not eat anything during the week that was not purchased with this budget (no free business lunches!)
3. Your diet may consist of any food that is within budget.
4. Document your week.
* Keep a video diary throughout the week OR
* Write short journal articles each day (2-3 sentences to document your daily routine) OR
* “Blog” at least twice throughout the week about your experience with the allotted budget—what you are eating, how much, any difficulties you experience, or achievements you accomplish (Word maximum is 300 words per entry.) AND
* Tie in any relevant stories related to your experience in humanitarian or development work.
* Tweet your experiences using the hashtag #HungerChallenge
5. Take a picture of each meal. Attach any relevant captions / thoughts with the pictures.
6. The Challenge runs from Friday, September 17, 8am – Friday, September 24, 8am.
