The struggle just got realer than ever, 20,000 children plus died last week in Somalia, and other neighboring countries in Africa. With all the food we waste here in America to think that people in Africa are starving ( I know sounds cliche right, we have heard it all our lives people, but it's certainly not just a saying, they really are dying).
Two nights ago my husband and I watched a documentary called "God grew tired of us" I recommend all of you to watch it, it was about the lost boys of Sudan and their journey. In Sudan there is war and all little boys are the main target, so they had to walk across the desert to survive, when they started out they were 27,000 by the time they got to Ethiopia and Kenya there were only 12,000 left.
Ethiopia and Kenya took them in and gave them refuge, now today those very countries need refuge themselves from the drought that has taken their livestock and food supply.
Please find it in your heart to help save a life, it doesn't matter your ethnicity we are all members of one race the Human race and we need to help each other, this is how God designed us. The link below has a list of charities that you can donate to. One Love.

A malnourished starved child lay on his mat.
This baby is malnourished and probably won't survive.
Children wait in line for their rations that they get only one a day.
Mothers cling to their children top comfort their hunger pains, with no hope of where the next meal will come from.
This is a picture of the livestock in Africa, that has died from starvation and dehydration, this was their food source.
