Thanks for making this a Daily Action... August 08, 2005 12:24 AM
As one who has been critical of some of the Daily Actions of the past, I must take the time to thank those who create them for today's (August 8, 2005) Daily Action.
"For today's daily action, we ask you to join a special new group on Care2 Connect dedicated to learning and sharing ideas on how to end the hunger crisis in Niger, Africa.
WHY? Last year, a locust invasion destroyed crops in the African country of Niger, and this agricultural loss was compounded by a devastating drought. The country now faces a hunger crisis which has been building since last fall, and the world is just beginning to take notice. Care2 member Rev. Skull Powell has created a new discussion group called "Niger...Country in Crisis" for Care2 members to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas for how to help the people of Niger end this crisis and return to self-sufficiency. Please join this critical discussion today."
