Ethiopian Food Crisis

Aaron and I sponsor a child through Compassion International so we get their quarterly magazine. The fall issue came yesterday and there is an article about Ethiopia. The famine, combined with skyrocketing food prices, is making things very, very difficult over there. Three other countries that are being hit hard by food prices are Bangladesh, Haiti, and Brazil.

I know these are tough economic times, but if you have the finances available, I strongly encourage you to sponsor a child. The work that Compassion does is amazing and your money goes to the children. If you can't sponsor a child, please consider making a donation to Compassion's Global Food Crisis Fund. They do have t-shirts available where all the proceeds go directly to the fund. (The t-shirts are pretty cool!)
