Story

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #006666;">We are the Supporter Enquiries Team.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006666;">Our typical day at the office is hectic and unpredictable.&nbsp;We are often expected to know everything about everything in order to serve and encourage those who support Tearfund. We want to help change the world one day and one church at a time. To get through our often hectic days, we stock up&nbsp;on plenty of cake, biscuits and chocolate! YUM!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006666;">From 27&nbsp;February to 2&nbsp;March, we are setting ourselves a new challenge; we&rsquo;re putting down the junkfood and the little luxuries that so famously adorn our team table and going all the way, we&rsquo;re going rice and beans!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006666;">For 5 days, our team will commit to eating: half a portion of porridge for breakfast, 30g of rice and 30g of beans for both lunch and dinner and just water for fluids, nothing more. Fancy foods, caffeine and snacks strictly forbidden. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006666;">Why are we doing this you may ask...? Well we're doing this for Tearfund, who work to empower local churches around the world, and for those too often forgotten ones who struggle to feed their families, who have never seen peace, who have never known freedom, who go through a daily fight to survive and for whom even rice and beans would be a luxury.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #006666;">Please support us as we seek to serve them. Every little bit counts.</span></p>
