 Hello friends and family, Next week we (delia, eshell, maya and asher) will be surviving on $2 a day for all food and drink as part of a campaign to raise awareness for global poverty – 1.4 BILLION people( roughly one-quarter of humanity) live below the poverty line. If you'd like to support the cause, you can make a secure online donation here. We are trying to raise as much money as we can for this important cause. https://www.livebelowtheline.com.au/me/kibbutzolinda After a couple of hours of negotiation and culling food, we've come in just under budget - i.e. $40 for 5 days for 4 people. We’ll be making 2 loaves of bread and lots of chapati. Our luxury items include apples, popcorn, honey, cheese and butter. We have also given Esh a tea allowance to make him less grumpy. See below our menu and shopping list.
