The DIY camp is a 2 days 1 night event where campers fast from day 1 10am till day 2 4pm. In between fasting, campers get to play some games and also get to watch some videos regarding the poverty in third world country. Participants will have an opportunity to get a first-hand simulated experience of living life in dire conditions through various Famine Challenges and educational movies.
