A thirty hour famine was held at Hapnot Collegiate from Thursday night to Saturday morning. Organizer Laura Sparling says they had 21 students participating and they raised over 1550 dollars and awareness.  She says the students organized a one hour information session for all the students participating where they gave presentations and did some workshops on why famine is a problem and what solutions we can come up with to solve it.

Sparling adds the students also put their focus on Flin Flon providing stats on Food Bank usage and they addressed ideas on relieving some of the hunger issues in our community.
