Severe Drought

I know I haven't been on his blog very much anymore (really at all). I've been catching up on my reading and learning more about life in Africa. I recently read Ishmael Beah's book, A Long Way Gone-Memoirs of a Child Soldier. And another one about the Rwanda genocide that killed millions of Tutsis. And I'm currently reading one about a girl who was a child soldier is Uganda. I'm trying to learn as much as a can so I know how to help and to bring awareness to how difficult and troubling their lives are in Africa. Please check out my other blog A Compassionate Heart, Reaching Out. This is where my heart is right now. I'm not writing as much as I'd like but give me time. I will be.

Please check out my post today about the severe drought in the Horn of Africa. Nearly 13 million people are severely affected and need OUR help desperately. I donated to World Vision, would you please consider helping as well? Your gift will multiply 5X's! So even if you only donate $50, $250 is actually going over to Africa to help! Every little bit helps and makes a difference. Especially when many help=) One drop in a bucket won't fill it but thousands of drops will!
