« At the Zoo | Blog Home | The $2 Challenge - Day 1 »
Starting tomorrow, our family is taking on the challenge to live on $2 per day. Given that one billion people live on one dollar a day or less, without choice, we agreed that it would be a way of identifying with the challenges faced by one in five of the world's people, and learning first-hand. We have spent the last week preparing: deciding on what to purchase, what we could and couldn't eat, what sacrifices needed to be made, etc. We have just completed the family meeting where we tallied up our budget to decide what was in and what wasn't.
I'll let you know how we fare.
