Africa

The above links to a report on how millions of Africans are going to starve due to a new drought. I saw a movie called "The Girl in the Cafe" a while ago. It was story about the politicians who talk about relief and the will of politicians to see beyond the political posturing to the human toll of their actions. I think it is impossible to really grasp what it means for millions of people to die because of lack of access to food. It seems an insurmountable problem, especially in today's climate of suspicion and fear. I think we still have to pay attention.

Places you can go to try to help:
Darfur Action
Millennium Goals
International Red Cross
