	We think you're brilliant Trentham School! Thank you for your incredible fundraising efforts in this year's World Vision 40 Hour Famine. Trentham School raised a grand total of $171.00 for Malawi. Well done! All your efforts will make a huge impact on lives that really need your help, and will go towards providing food for 21 desperately hungry children. From Malawi’s children and us at World Vision, thank you so much! But where exactly did the funds go this year? Malawi is one of the world’s poorest nations. The funds generously donated are being used to improve: Farming techniques: World Vision is providing livestock and crop training so families have regular harvests, and can feed their families all year round!   Nutrition: It’s not just how much you eat, but what you eat that prevents malnutrition. World Vision is providing seeds and training households on how to grow a diverse range of fruits and vegetables – many of which are hardy in drought so children can have a varied diet full of nutrient-rich food.   Community health: World Vision is working to provide quality healthcare at a community level to help children grow up without the threat of preventable illnesses. Plus, by educating communities about hand washing and good hygiene, World Vision is aiming to decrease the spread of disease. Check out the video to see exactly how your school's funds are going to help. Trentham School has been a part of New Zealand’s biggest youth fundraising movement, and helped celebrate forty years of the World Vision 40 Hour Famine. Since the start, Kiwis like you have raised over $72 million to fight hunger via this huge community fundraising event! Go Kiwis! Thanks for joining us in the fight against hunger. We can’t wait to see you and Trentham School again next year! Vicki Webb 40HR Famine Leader Watch to see how the gift of goats has helped Thomas and his children grow strong and healthy after years of malnutrition. Mike is six-years-old but the height of an average Kiwi three-year-old. Years of malnutrition has stunted the growth of his little body.  With the support of World Vision’s 40 Hour Famine Mike’s family has been given a goat. This means they now have more nutritious food, can pay for school fees, and breed the goats to sell. Mike can now grow up healthy, strong and learn skills to keep his family out of the cycle of poverty.
