Have you heard about the severe famine in Niger and the nearly million children at risk of death from hunger? Please see these articles from: the BBC, the NY Times, and the World Vision website. The NY Times has a narrated photo slideshow that is particularly compelling.

Please consider donating to orgs such as World Vision who are providing emergency food aid to these poor kids... I know that WV currently has a matching grant from the fed government (meaning every $1 you give, the U.S. govt will match that in a grant to WV.)

When everyone gives a little, it can add up to quite a lot.
