Hi everyone,
I thought that I would make a post about the East Africa famine crisis, seeing as Hayley has been discussing it during her current New Zealand tour. I recently read a book which described how much of a difference aid organisations like Unicef and the Red Cross actually make to situations like this and it has got me thinking.
Links to Unicef sites which discuss the situation:
Importantly, the Australian government is matching all private donations dollar by dollar which are made until 30 November 2011.
Australia: www.unicef.org.au/Donate/One-off-Donation/east-africa-drought-emergency-appeal-famine.aspx
Australian Red Cross: www.redcross.org.au/africaappeal.aspx
New Zealand: www.unicef.org.nz/Africa-Food-Crisis
UK: www.unicef.org.uk/UNICEFs-Work/Emergencies/east-africa-childrens-crisis-somalia-famine/
