About Live Below the Line

Scott Walsh and Hannah Degotardi have taken on the task of living of $2 per day from May 16th - 20th for all food and drink. 1.4 billion people live on $2, and they make it go much further then just food and drink.

We are living in poverty, for poverty. All proceeds go to the Oaktree Foundation, to help the recently opened school in PNG stay in operation. Kids from Yangis haven't had access to a school or education in over 20 years, until the Oaktree Foundation established a school.

Donations to either of our pages are listed on the right. Thanks alot :D

Test-cook




 Our first test cook for next week's living below the line. A lentil, potato, carrot and onion stew of sorts. Almost surprisingly, despite our complete lack of recipe, it turned out to be completely edible!

After spending an hour trawling both our local Aldi and Coles, we were actually quite surprised as to how far $2 a day can actually go. This dinner (with quite a bit leftover) cost us around $2 between the two of us (ie, just over dollar each!) We've pretty-well decided on having porridge for all breakfasts, and instant noodles for lunches, as they're quick easy and cheap. Veges will come from our dinners - so far, its looking achievable (but still quite hard....)
