Counting down the days that passed

Living Below the Line

I found out about Live Below the Line from a friend who was doing it. Basically for 5 days from the 7th to the 11th of May, participants would have to live on only AUD2 a day. So that includes budgeting for the 5 days, so we aren't allowed to spend more than AUD10. I was a little late finding out about it, so I started on the second day.


So what is Live Below the Line you ask? Basically, it is a campaign by the Oaktree Foundation to raise awareness of extreme poverty that is going on in the world, and while doing that raise funds to provide educational opportunities in developing countries. For Australia, the funds raise will be to help educational projects in Papua New Guinea.

I'm doing this because I think it is for a good cause. I feel everybody should be given opportunities towards getting an education. It is also an experience to feel what it is like to be really not being able to afford food.

So here I am, putting on my shameless face, I really really need your support! I am trying to raise AUD150 and so far I've managed to raise AUD45. It would be great if you could spare a couple of your loose change to help support this cause. Any donation is greatly appreciated!!
