Caryl Stern: I’m joining Royal relief mission for East Africa
The starvation crisis in East Africa is worsening. Right now, over 320,000 malnourished children in East Africa are at risk of immediate death if they don’t receive lifesaving assistance.
That’s why I’m leaving today for UNICEF’s Emergency Supply Center in Copenhagen. There, emergency medical supplies will be packed and I will accompany the transport flight to Kenya – to raise awareness of the incredible need, and to help save lives.
While I’m in Copenhagen, I’ll be joining the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are making a special visit to the center tomorrow to put the global spotlight back onto this heart-wrenching humanitarian crisis.
Please, follow my personal Twitter feed, @CarylStern, to read and retweet stories from this urgent delivery. I’ll also be posting regularly to FieldNotes.
I think that is great but unfortunately you don’t put your efforts to bring people to help you over there.
I would like to join you.
that’s nice! I wish I could join the group but i’m staying in the Philippines as of now.. I’ll just pray for your safety guyz. God bless and more power!! :))
is it true only 5cents of every dollar we give goes to the children?
