I would like to thank UNICEF and Ambassador Aiken for bringing the Somalia crises to my attention. It sounds like UNICEF is one of the few agencies still helping in Somalia. I really appreciate all the good work UNICEF and their ambassadors do for the children of the world.Where is the outrage?? I know times are hard right now but I'm off to donate what little bit I can.
It behooves us all to respond to Ambassador Aiken's pleas with as large of a donation as one is comfortable making. I have made my donation; I urge all of you to make one, too, no matter the amount.
One in eight of these children die before they turn 5 and the average life expectancy in Somalia is only 45 years. I find it inconceivable that the world allows it to be this way.Mr. Aiken asks the same question we should all ask of others. "Where is the outrage?"UNICEF and it's ambassadors; and other aid agencies and the people who work for them and support them restore my faith that there's still good in the world.
