The nation did it. More than 145,000 of you registered to take part in the 40 Hour Famine over the weekend of 27-29 May 2011. Many of you went hungry, voiceless, technology-less – you name it, we saw it... without food, without a voice, without technology – it was awesome.

This year, the target is $3.15 million to help hungry communities in the developing world, particularly in East Timor where almost 50 per cent of under 5’s are malnourished.

Inspired by those you know who went without? Why not donate today and show how Kiwis are ‘Going hard out for the hungry’!

World Vision undertakes various events for churches to encourage their bringing together Christian spirituality and participation in issues of justice.

Recent events included a visit to New Zealand by Jim Wallis, in partnership with The Salvation Army.

Kids all around the world are the same; they love to play, sing, spend time with their families and learn new things. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of children have a very different life because of where they live and the lack of opportunities available to them and their families.

The year 2011 marks the return of the tremendously popular Kids for Kids: Top of the World and Christmas concerts. These shows are sure to delight children and adults alike.

Since it first began in 1991, Parachute Festival has become an icon of the Kiwi summer: now drawing crowds of 25,000, hosting a giant tent city, and attracting the attention of major New Zealand media. Each January it takes over Mystery Creek Events Centre (Hamilton) with over 150 local and international acts performing across six stages. And there’s everything from hardcore to hip hop, to electronica… to alt-country.

World Vision has a strong tradition of partnering with Parachute festival to inspire festival attendees and encourage them to be the generation, who feeds the hungry, restores, rebuilds and renovates by sponsoring a child.
