LIVE BELOW THE LINE CHALLENGE
This week, our family is doing the "Live Below
The Line” challenge where we each eat for $2
a day.
This is to highlight the fact that 600,000 kids
in Australia and more than 1 billion kids worldwide live
below the poverty line.
So if we are a bit grumpy this week, this may have
something to do with it.
If you would like to make a donation, please go to the
