Last week the UN declared a famine in Somalia as thousands of families
left their homes in a desperate search for food and water.
Many are facing the worst drought in sixty years. Small reservoirs have
gone dry. Bigger ones have been reduced to pools of sludge. Crops are
failing, farm animals are dying and children are going hungry.
Oxfam supporters are saving lives by funding projects to bring food to
people facing severe hunger and truck water to villages where all other
sources have dried up. This week’s $250 donation to OXFAM by JAMBO is
matched, so it becomes $500. Thank you for your support.
