Hunger Crisis on Horn of Africa, needs support from around the world now!

From cbc.ca/thenational website, July 14, 2011
There is a crisis of epic proportions in the Horn of Africa. People are starving and the numbers in danger keep rising. According to the CBC report, some 10,000,000 million people are hungry, two million of them children. And for a few dollars, a child can be fed for a week on a single portion of a newly developed nutritional food based on peanut paste.
According the World Food Program, only a few months ago, a Kenyan farmer could buy a bag of corn with the sale of a single goat. Today, that same bag of corn costs him 5 goats. So there is apparently a perfect storm brewing: drought, now one every two years, whereas three decades ago, it was more like one draught every decade, and the governments of Ethopia, Kenya and Somalia are ill-equipped to meet the crisis.
This is also a global security problem because people without food will do anything to get it, and are vulnerable to the seductions of those who would prey on them for ulterior motives.
We are all, every single person reading this, and every single person in every single country in the world, needed to meet this crisis...through a meagre $5 if everyone reading this were to link with one of the aid agencies, many of these starving people would survive.
While the list is not exhaustive, it is at least a beginning for those readers who might be interested in and willing to make a contribution....and also speak to your government representatives... because there is not only a short term crisis, there is also a long-term problem that requires governmental assistance...And there is reason to believe that this is only the beginning of a much longer and a more serious crisis in hunger, and resulting mass deaths from starvation, as food prices rise, and as many, especially in the developed world, "hang back" to use Brian Stewart's words, a veteran reporter from CBC who covered the Ethopian hunger crisis of 1984...and when we hang back, waiting for someone else to step up to the plate, hundreds will die, without our support.
There is no time to wait!
