Inside the Unusual Mind of Brock Gill

here we are at gypsyland.

we had 60 people show up in our backyard. by the way people call our house gypsyland. not sure why. i guess we are kinda like a bunch of gypsies.

anyway, we had 5 artists sing monday night. we had a mindreader and a guy who escaped out of a box. guess who escaped? yep i did.

the music was awesome. we sat around and listened as people sang their songs. we all had blankets and chairs on the side of the hill. as you can see we turned our place into a stage. we had a full sound system and lights. it was so cool.

we raised about $750 for compassion international to provide malaria nets to people around the world.

it was another fun and successful party with a purpose

did you know that two thirds of the world lives on less than $2 per day? what would it be like to live on that? what if we could only afford to buy a cup of rice each day? what if we had to live on a cup of rice?

this coming wednesday march 11 is global food crisis day. this is a day that we have an opportunity to give to compassions global food crisis fund and make a difference.

here is my challenge. are you ready?

on wednesday, i want you to take a cup of rice and live on that for a day. call it a fast if you want. i will put it this way, if you can live on a cup of rice for the day then you will have a glimpse of what it is like to walk in their shoes. you will gain some serious perspective. you will realize how blessed you actually are.

the money that you would have spent on food for the day can now be donated to feed people around the world. click here to donate. take the challenge and put your money where your mouth is. this is the rice challenge.

on monday at 5pm i will be  at http://brockgill.tv chatting live with all of you who would like to join me. i want to hear from you and talk about ways we can make a dent in the food crisis.

the rice challenge will begin wed march 11. spread the word by linking here or copy and pasting this post onto your blog.
