Previous Challenges
A blog from Codewe’s UK Representative and $2 a day organiser Stephen McConnachie
“People kept asking me if I was hungry – and mostly I wasn’t. I was able to eat plenty. And I could easily have eaten more considering I was so much below budget.”
Lynn Jolly – $2 a day first-time participant
“For me this challenge is a great way to contemplate greed and also to heighten my awareness on how easy we have it here in the West and how difficult it can be for people in so many different areas of our planet, including the UK!”
Mairi McConnachie – $2 a day first-time participant
“I found this challenge really quite interesting, it’s really not that difficult to eat really well on a tiny budget. The only problem is managing to control your cravings for things you can’t afford!”
Stephen McConnachie in his first attempt at the challenge
“I think I learnt a lot from this. I won’t be a food snob so much perhaps. I learnt that cheap things aren’t necessarily much worse than other things just due to being cheaper.”
