World Vision Malaysia has been running the 30-Hour Famine fundraiser for 25 years. This year will be no different… well, maybe a little different, as 30-Hour Famine will be going virtual. We talk to World Vision Malaysia CEO Daniel Boey about fighting poverty and hunger through fasting, and what we can expect from 30-Hour Famine 2020. The 30-Hour Famine started in 1997. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WVM is organising a virtual edition of the 30-Hour Famine. It would be a first in the event’s long history.
