I'll be living on just £1 a day for food and drink for 5 days to raise money for the incredible charity Action Against Hunger who work with communities across the world who are malnourished due to natural disasters, conflict or an inefficient health system.
Next week is a crucial one for me at University as it's one of my final weeks and the last few days to write my dissertation. Concentrating on living on £1 a day will be an extra difficulty because of this but I hope that will add to the challenge. I will blog, tweet and Instagram my experience in the hope that it will raise awareness and money for a brilliant event and charity.
