Fast-a-Thon

After a day of fasting, I had such a great time at the Fast-A-Thon tonight to raise money for Refugee Relief.

It felt so good to do something for all these people who are living day-to-day and have nowhere else to turn. We fasted all day to get ourselves on the right path and make good intentions to help others who need it. Allowing refugees to live they way they do is unbearable and we are responsible for doing something about it. We had some great speakers to talk about fasting, refugees, and Islamic Awareness Month here at Vanderbilt this month. Videos from the organizations that our donations will be going to really brought home the message of how stark the reality really is in these areas. In addition we had some yummy food which never hurts especially after a day of fasting! :D Two Vanderbilt student musical groups performed and gave us some much needed entertainment this Sunday night. Lovely and inspiring night!!
