A group of students at Hapnot Collegiate is taking part in a thirty hour famine this weekend.  Organizer Corinne Mathews explains the famine is a fund raising and awareness event.  She says the students are raising money for World Vision and what World Vision does is promote clean water, food, child protection and safety all over the world which is a really good cause for the students to get involved in.

The thirty hour famine begins at midnight tonight with the students staying at the school overnight Friday with games, sports and movies wrapping up at six Saturday morning with a pancake breakfast for the students.  You can make a pledge to the students by going to www.famine.ca and enter Hapnot at find a group.
