Live Below the Line - Finished

We are extremely proud of all of our lads who have lived below the line this week. It has been a really tough ask, particularly when having to have meals in the dining hall and at supper time in the house. however, they have stuck at it with discipline and really gained a lot. We would love it if you were able to sponsor the boys for even a small amount. They are part of the Bedford School Team who are raising money for Unicef as well as raising awareness about the plight of the world's poorest. The Bedford school page is here.

A couple of quotes from our participants are below:

Alex: I am quite tired, but starting to get used to it and not as tired anymore. The meals today have actually been quite nice.

Simon: I feel hungry all the time, but got used to it after the fifth day.......

Overall, I felt proud to do it, and experienced how depressing it feels without enough food to eat.
