"Starting from 1st May 2011 I plan to have a year without buying any clothes for myself. The money saved will go towards needy children in Rukurukulevu village, Fiji."
Why? Because she recognises that she has more than enough and so many around her have so little. She plans to use the money she would spend on clothes to buy shoes for children in a needy village in Fiji.
Got me thinking - What can I do?
I worked out that if someone gives up a coffee a week at $3.50 they would be able to save a $182.00 per year that is equal to 9 pairs of shoes.
So what can I do?
I love diet coke and I have wanted to stop drinking it as I know that it is not good for me, so I have decided to give it up for 12 month (hopefully lifetime) and I know that it will not only benefit the children of Fiji but also my health. So for every coke I would buy I will donate the money towards shoes for the children in Fiji.

Maybe you could join the challenge and give up something for a year or sponsor my friend in what she is doing.

Brilliant idea! Everyone should think of something they can give up for a year and donate the money saved to those who are needier. By helping others, we also help ourselves :)
