After seeing the Foreign Correspondent report on the famine in Somalia the other night I feel convicted to spread awareness of the plight of these people and encourage those of us who are better off than them (ie ALL Australians) to share a bit of our wealth with them. As a mother I found it heart breaking to see those small children starving. So please give whatever you can afford to help save a life in Somalia. I dont know all the aid agencies that are working over there but the htree following are: TEAR, Samaritains Purse and World Vision.

Famine always hits the poor and vulnerable, there are a lot of people that are pirates there that are rich by Somalian standards or Armed Gorilla gangs that often attack and steal the food from the needy. You need to be careful which aid agency you give money too
