Sleeping on the Floor Progress

hello everyone, 
as shown in the image above, my sister and I have been sleeping on the floor, with only blankets and a pillowm nothing else. 

This is for the 'Shelter' Line. 

My back so far doesn't really hurt, but I most definitely miss my soft bed. 

Thank you!

Hello Everyone, 
Thank you very much for donating to Oaktree, to support those living in poverty in the Asia-Pacific region. 
I am more than half way through the challenge. 2 more days left!!
I will be posting more updates about the food I ate very soon

Kudos to my sister Clarissa, as well as my mum and dad for completing this challenge with me

:) Mary Elise

Day 1 Spendings

The image above outlines what I ate during the first day of Live Below the Line. We spent $5.41 for 4 people, meaning each person ate $1.36 worth of food today

Why am I Living Below the Line and What happens to your donations

From the 1st to the 5th of May, I will be completing Live Below the Line, a challenge where participants only get to spend $2 a day on food for 5 days, in order to experience what it is like to live below the (poverty) line, and understand the struggles that those who are less fortunate than me have to face every day. I will be completing this challenge with my family, meaning that we will have a total budget of $40 to spend during the week.

This year, I foresee this challenge being much harder due to rising costs of food. For example, frozen mixed vegetables used to be $1.50 per kg, but it is now $2.79 per kg, meaning that there is a 86% increase in the price of frozen vegetables, something that we ate quite often during Live Below the Line last year. 

I will also be completing a challenge in the 'Shelter' Line, by sleeping on the floor with just a pillow and a blanket. 

By donating to my page, you will help support Oaktree’s partners and programs to empower young people in the fight against poverty and injustices in the Asia-Pacific.
