Hello Cooper friends,
Remember the famine of the 1980's? I sure do.
Well, Africa is facing another drought.
Thousands of people are without crops, the animals are dying,
and water holes are drying up.
When you add these problems to the increased global food prices
this equals a
MAJOR crisis
for our brothers and sisters in Africa.
World Vision is trying to meet the need.
The need is BIG, but God is BIGGER!
Will you be Jesus to our world?
Please read the article below, thank you for praying
and for helping.
2011 FAMINE
The situation is getting worse for millions in the Horn of Africa. Famine has been declared in two regions of southern Somalia, and is likely to spread to neighboring areas if nothing is done to alleviate the suffering. This is the first time in 20 years that a food crisis has reached the technical definition of a famine. Some experts fear the current conditions will cause more devastation than the drought that spread from the Horn of Africa in the 1980s. Already, more than 11 million people are in urgent need of life-saving assistance.  In Somalia, 3.7 million people half the population are in need of humanitarian assistance. In Kenya's Dadaab refugee camp, an average of 1,300 Somali refugees arrive each day. Half of the newly arrived children are malnourished, and many die on the way to the camp. Ethiopia has the largest number of people affected 4.5 million lives are at risk from the crisis. Drought conditions are spreading into Tanzania where 500,000 people are already affected and threatening other nearby countries. If you've already given to help save children's lives in the Horn of Africa, thank you. World Vision has launched a widespread response to the crisis, including emergency feeding programs for children, food distributions for vulnerable families, access to clean water and health-care, protection of livestock, peacekeeping efforts, and more. to save children's lives. normal rainfall until early next year, and food prices continue to rise. Because World Vision has worked in the region for decades, we have been awarded government grants that can multiply the impact of your gift 5 times. Join with us in praying for children and families in the Horn of Africa, and for improved conditions throughout the region. And please Thank you for your generosity. In Him,   Go to www.worldvision.org to help. This is how we know what LOVE is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and truth. 1 John 3: 16-18 Angi & Tim |
