Soul Action: Slum Survivor

no slumber

No Slumber is a way of raising money. But No Slumber is more than that; it’s a challenge.

Have you got what it takes to spend a day and a night experiencing how life is for millions of children orphaned by AIDS? Have you got the head, hands and heart to look after yourself and others in a world where life and death choices rest with you?

This challenge is not easy. It will push and pull you in ways that will be uncomfortable and awkward, but it will leave your eyes wide open to the way life is for millions of children around the world. It will wake you up.

The issues...

There are millions of children around the world who live in homes without adults. Most often this is because their parents have died from AIDS-related illness. We call these child-headed households and nobody knows precisely how many there are of them. Here in the UK and Ireland there are children facing terrible loss. But in many countries their peers must face the same grief without the support of the state, in situations of crushing poverty. These young people
must make choices that carry incredible weight – life and death choices that must be made every day.

it's all about character...

As part of No Slumber you'll live out the experiences and choices of a family of children. But it's more than a nice story... those taking part will play various characters and literally live out the consequences of their decisions seeing what life is like for millions of children around the world whose parents have died No Slumber aims to shock those that take part; to leave them inspired and impacted by the strength of those who live this way every day; and to raise money to support the very people who in turn are caring for and guiding them.
