Macau Famine

Macau Famine 2022 has been successfully held

All Macau Famine activities this year, namely, Red Packet Campaign, Drawing Competition, Flag Day, School Famine, Charity Sale, Skip-A-Meal and 10-Hour Self-Famine, have been successfully held.

We thank all participants and volunteers for their active participation, and all our sponsors and supporting groups for their generosity in blessing starving children and families affected by natural disasters and the pandemic.

Famine Event Highlights

We thank our honorary guests for officiating at the opening ceremony of Macau Famine this year, to call for awareness on the needs of starving children and families.

We are grateful for the support of schools, students, parents and churches, who generously shared with starving children their red packets filled with blessings.

Our appreciation also goes to the primary schools which supported the Drawing Competition, to the students who submitted art pieces of love and creativity, and to the adjudicators who picked the winning works this year.

Thanks to the participation and support of many schools, organisations and volunteers, the Flag Day this year took place smoothly.

The little flags drew us closer to starving children far away.

We thank the organisations which supported starving children and families by participating in Skip-A-Meal and workshops.

In a Skip-A-Meal workshop, participants experienced how impoverished children and families maintain personal hygiene with limited resources, and learnt not to take water resources for granted through making a Tippy Tap together.

We offered "Loaves of Love" for this year's charity sale, so that we may remember the needs of starving children in our daily meals.

During 10-Hour Self-Famine, participants learnt more about the context and needs of starving children far away through videos, articles and different tasks.

Famine activities may be over now, but the mission to help starving children goes on. We encourage you to continue to care for starving children and sow hope for them:

Wild Fruits: The Only Food They Have

Last year, many children and families in South Sudan lived in displacement due to floods and conflict. Among them were five-year-old Adut (right) and her family who are currently living in a refugee settlement.

Every day, Adut’s father would go to look for wild fruits in the forest to feed the family. These fruits that Adut and her mother are cracking serve as the only meal of the day for the family. “My baby’s [Adut’s brother] health is improving thanks to the Plumpy’Nut that World Vision gives us regularly, but due to the lack of sufficient food, I am afraid his situation might deteriorate again,” says Adut’s mother. Let’s help them overcome their hardships!
