World Vision
Why World Vision?
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the event, a charity campaign that has become so ingrained in its home country it’s made its way into both popular culture and family life, while raising roughly $200 million for programs in developing countries.
In 1975 there were a lot of changes for Australians. It was the year colour television first made it to air, Malcolm Fraser and Gough Whitlam stunned the nation with The Dismissal, Saigon fell in the Vietnam War, Picnic at Hanging Rock was released, and Graham Kennedy got quickly shuffled off a live TV broadcast for his “crow call”. It was also the year 16,000 Victorians signed up for the first 40 Hour Famine, and raised $570,000 in the process.
One participant was to become particularly well known, especially to World Vision supporters. Future CEO Tim Costello signed up at the urging of his younger brother – and future federal treasurer – Peter. Like so many others, they spent the weekend with nothing but barley sugars to eat.
