Famine:In East Africa By: Yuliza C.G.

              Save a Life.

In East Africa there's a scarce of food, water, and shelters.

This is taking place in the following affected places: Southern Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. 

The people involved in this life threatening event are Children, Women, Men and families.

The problem is that there is no food, water, and shelters' for many families, and women/men. Also nearly half a million children are at risk of dying from malnutrition and disease.

(Malnutrition means: Inadequate or unbalanced nutrition.) 

This is currently happening in 2011. "The Famine In East Africa" is happening now. It's not really much of a surprise or a shock because as we all know Africa remains the world's poorest continent

and it is filled up with thousands' of people starving to death and most of it is children. But theres the other side of the story that little innocent kid's are suffering and dying many mothers have to

watch their own kid's die. How would you feel if you were a parent, and you had to watch your child starve to death?

But all bad stories have a resolution people around the world are taking action (or helping) by raising money and another thing that we are capable of doing is donating

1.Clothes 

2.Blankets

3.Shoes

and resources that a human would need to survive.

Hope is still out there! Organizations' are helping by raising money to provide them with medical treatment,and getting clean water to remote communities in Kenya,Somalia, and Ethiopia

Organizations' helping: UNICEF,The United Nations World Food Pragramme, AmeriCares, The UNHCR,and The Red Cross. These organizations' are basically collecting money to treat and feed these people.

Imagine you being in this same situation? How would you feel? Imagine going days' without water, food, a home, and no hope?

Try to spread the word each person you tell, you save some one's life.

And knowing that you have helped some one is the best feeling. Let's help these kids enjoy some thing we call LIFE!
