I work within disability and dyslexia services and this week I am taking on the Live Below the Line challenge. I will be raising money for UNICEF to raise awareness and donations for the millions of people in the world, including in the UK, who live below the poverty line.
As part of the challenge, I will be eating and drinking on £1 a day for 5 days from the 27th April. I can’t use anything that’s already in my cupboards or accept food from others. I know my experience will be nothing like that of those living in extreme poverty – luckily, I don’t have to choose between eating and paying my rent. However I’m hoping that my efforts will make a small difference and will allow me, and those around me, to appreciate the difficulties faced by others.
I would be so grateful for any donations (or tips on surviving!!!)
