Famine


So after reading this post today by Laura, I have been searching and searching for articles on the current food crisis and am having a bit of a hard time finding current information. This was one of the articles I did find. I was surprised to hear how bad it is in Ethiopia since we were just there a short 6 months ago! N. Korea's situation is becoming desperate, along with many other places in the world..

I also found excellent information on the World Food Programme's site, here is the article intro:

A wave of food-price inflation is moving across the globe, leaving in its wake drastically increased levels of hunger and poverty. The phenomenon is affecting everyone on the planet but the poor and hungry are on the front line, as are agencies like WFP that work to help them.

Please read, please help, please pray...
