Global Fast! One of our very own, Trevor Hightower just got married this weekend in Colorado. Not only did he marry this gorgeous girl on the right, but they used the celebration of their love as an occasion to serve those in the most need in the world. In response to the water crisis, they decided to make their Big Day a big day for an impoverished community. In addition to setting up a regular registry for household items, Trevor and his bride created WeddingGive.com to enable his guests to give clean water to kids in Africa through Global Fast and Generosity Water. Check out the website http://www.weddinggive.com/Site/Home_.html

So not only will they get their household necessities but hundreds of people will be drinking clean water because of the Hightowers. This is an amazing example of someone taking their life, their influence, their situation and using for the good of those in most need. Amazing!

Richard Branson fasts for Darfur

We fast in solidarity with the people of Darfur because they do not have a choice. We fast as a personal expression of outrage at a world that has allowed the suffering of millions of innocent people. We fast because as we simply watched, Darfur’s defenceless people were forced into wretched camps where today they are facing starvation and disease. We fast because those in positions of authority who know what is right and just, could and should do more to alleviate their suffering and bring peace, protection, and justice to the people of Sudan.

We fast for Darfur’s courageous people —because we yearn for a world where human rights are respected and a life of dignity is the legacy for every man, woman and child.

Please join us and get involved in supporting the people of Darfur by going towww.fastdarfur.org and taking action.
