30-Hour Famine

以上这些字眼每天都出现在新闻之中。当我们在社交媒体上滑过这些报导,越来越感到稀松平常,甚至不再有任何感受。 人们对于全球议题的反应日趋两极化,这会带来一定的危险。因此,我们不能坐视不理,而是迫切需要提高人们的醒觉意识、同理心及采取主动解决和扭转当前的局势。那我们的世界到底怎么了,更重要是,我们能做些什么呢?

Join the 30-Hour Famine to learn more about global issues and champion the cause among your family and friends. Then, respond by fundraising to support those most impacted by these challenges.

全球饥饿危机

全球饥饿危机自2015年起出现了上升趋势,然而随着新冠病毒全球大流行、气候变化、冲突和生活成本上涨,使得情况更加恶化。虽然,即时粮食供应对于短期性的救济能够起到重要的作用,但是这项复杂的危机仍需要可持续性的解决方案。

饥饿不仅仅是缺乏粮食,也衍生出许多影响层面甚广的挑战,如:孩童或成人无法获得足够的营养及缺乏体力学习或工作,这将引致长期贫穷和饥饿的恶性循环,而陷在其中的脆弱社群则难以挣脱束缚。尽管全球生产的粮食分量足够喂饱每一个人,依然有数以亿计的人口承受着饥饿。

气候变化

气候变化是我们的时代面对的其中一项最大挑战。快速工业化和都市化促使温室气体大量排放,这不仅加剧气候变化,也为地球上的生物带来重大威胁。

气候变化引发频繁且严峻的气象,比如:暴雨、热浪、洪水、干旱和山林野火;这些气象会带来大规模的破坏,导致社区居民失去家园或甚至丧失性命。

冲突

我们今日的世界面对史无前例的全球冲突,这也影响了全球的和平进程。联合国已经发出警惕如今当下的和平,比起二次世界大战以来更加受到威胁。

从阿富汗和叙利亚之间持久的战争到新爆发的冲突,显示我们生活的时代到处都岌岌可危。无论是近期才爆发或已经持续了数十年之久的冲突,都已造成广泛的祸害、摧毁社区、引发社会暴动、对国家造成经济负担,同时也熄灭了人们摆脱贫穷的仅存希望。

10-year-old Peter from Kenya loves to learn and used to ace his tests, but had to quit school due to a lack of 50 shillings (approximately RM1.50). School was also where he was sheltered from hunger as they provided lunch. “School was better than at home,” he says.

Peter, the youngest of six children, is now a goat herder. The family used to have 10 goats, but six have died. His family’s livelihood is dwindling and they cannot afford to purchase sufficient food. With not enough to eat, Peter, who used to be a healthy and active boy, is hungry and lethargic, but he longs to return to school and fulfill his dream of becoming a teacher.

Abdi, a 13-year-old from Somalia, lives alone as his family migrates in search of pastures and water for their livestock during an ongoing drought. Tasked with guarding their home and farm, Abdi takes on the role of protecting his home, cutting what little wheat was left and storing it for the family.

“I would love to be with my family, but since I’m the oldest boy, my parents gave me these responsibilities. I’d love if there was someone else who can take my place so I can stay with my parents and siblings.” The prolonged drought has disrupted his education, forcing him to drop out, yet he dreams of restarting his education, and becoming a teacher to inspire and educate many children.

On a frigid December 2023 morning in western Ukraine, nine-year-old Eva begins her routine amid the turmoil and fear that has marked the past few years. Bundled in warm layers, she prepares for and walks to school with her older brother. Inside the dimly lit classroom, an air-alarm pierces the air and disrupts the Ukrainian language lesson after just 25 minutes.

The children, familiar with disruptions due to the ongoing war, evacuate in an organised manner to a cold, concrete shelter. “In the last year, I don’t remember a week without at least one class being disrupted,” explains Eva. As time slows down, Eva and her classmates spend more than two hours in the basement as their teacher tries to continue with the lesson.

Despite the challenges, children like Eva persevere, dreaming of a future free from air raid sirens and bombs. “I want to be an astrologist, but my greatest wish is for my father to return from war,” said Eva.

10岁的Peter来自肯雅,他很喜欢学习。Peter过去在学校上课时期考试成绩很不错。然而,他却因为缺了50先令(约RM1.50)必须停学。学校曾经是他解决饥饿的地方,因为他们会供应午餐。“去学校比留在家里更好。”Peter如此说道。

Peter是家中排行第六也是最小的孩子,他现在是个牧童。他们家曾经有10头羊,但是其中六头已经死了。他们家的生计受到冲击,负担不起购买足够的粮食。由于不够粮食,原本健康活泼的Peter时常感觉饥饿且昏昏欲睡;但他渴望能够再回去学校上课,实现成为老师的梦想。

13岁的Abdi来自索马利亚。在干旱持续发生的时期,Abdi的家人移居到其他地方,以寻找牧地和水源牧养他们的牲畜。他单独留下并负责看守房子和农地。Abdi除了扛起保护家园的责任,也得帮忙家人收割剩余的一点麦子及储存起来。

“我很想跟家人在一起,但我是长子,父母亲把这些责任交托给我。我真希望有人能代替我做这些事情,这样我就可以跟家人在一起,不用和他们分离。”长久的干旱打断了Abdi的学业,迫使他不得不退学;然而他依然梦想重回学校上课,将来成为一名老师,以启发和教育更多的孩童。

在乌克兰西部,2023年12月一个寒冷的早晨,9岁的Eva一如往常地开始了她的一天。即使过去几年伤痛和恐惧无处不在,日子照旧。Eva裹上保暖衣物,做好了准备就与哥哥走路上学。当他们在灯光昏暗的课室里上着乌克兰文课,空袭警报中断了他们的课程。他们刚开始上课25分钟。

孩童对这样的战争干扰已经很熟悉,他们有秩序地撤退到寒冷、坚实的防空洞。Eva忆述:“我想不起去年有哪一周上课是不曾受到干扰中断的。”时间变得缓慢,Eva和同学在地下室待了超过两小时,他们的老师则尝试继续上课。

尽管面对诸多的挑战,Eva和其他孩童依然坚强,他们梦想着未来将不再有空袭警报和轰炸。“我想要成为一名占星师,但是我目前最大的愿望是爸爸可以从战场归来。”Eva如此说道。
