East Africa: Famine Declared
  • In case you didn't know there's a famine has been declared in Somalia: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14211905

    Here's what constitutes a "famine":
    - More than 30% of children must be suffering from acute malnutrition
    - Two adults or four children must be dying of hunger each day for every group of 10,000 people
    - The population must have access to far below 2,100 kilocalories of food per day

    Consider donating to UNICEF or OXFAM to help support the relief efforts.

  • I subscribe to the Sam Kinnison method to end world hunger. :P

  • @CRFilms Not sure if you're being serious or not.

    Too bad Sam (RIP) forgot to mention these little things called "citizenship" and "passport" and shit ton of other stuff.
