马嘉轩Athena Beh：“今年是我第四次参与饥饿30的倒数活动！感恩世界宣明会一直给予我这个机会去为这个社会做出小小的贡献 每当在活动上看到一些有关贫穷国家短片的时候，心里总是酸溜溜的。可是当我看到另外一个有关很多艺人朋友身体力行去到贫穷的国家给予帮忙、探访时候的短片，心里深深感受到人间还有很多的爱！再加上每次都看到超过上万的饥饿勇士一起凝聚的力量是如此的庞大！也让我学习到生命的可贵，在觉得自己很幸福的当儿也提醒自己要继续为这群小朋友付出更多的生命！ 所有的饥饿勇士们，我们继续加油吧！！！”

可晴KeQing:“今次很荣幸可以有机会参与饥饿30倒数活动，我的心情很矛盾。开心，因为可以通过歌声为孩子们出一份薄力宣传此活动；难过，因为饥饿30的活动提醒了我世界上另一个角落有那么多无辜可怜的孩子们。这股难过的情绪成了一种推动力，促使我付出更多心力，向社会呼吁我们的爱心，接力传递下去，为了每一个需要救助的孩子不被遗漏。他们的笑容，缔造了心灵的美好。营员们，用我们的爱，让这些孩子们面带笑容，学习勇敢地在逆境中坚持走向明天。爱蔓延，让世界更美好。 饥饿勇士们，一起加油！=)

World Vision protects the street kids of Myanmar- they deserve to learn in school, not on the streets
In Phnom Penh, many families struggle to make enough income and often live on the street. Their children do not go to school but rather spend their time working, even at night time.

Most of them have no home or are sent out into the streets during the day by their mostly single mothers and told to bring home some money for the family.

As this activity is officially forbidden, these children occasionally get arrested by the police and are put in prison.
