Thoughts from the hippie

If you've been living under a rock lately the people in the Horn of Africa (which is Somalia/Ethiopia/Kenya region) are going through massive food shortages with the worst drought they've had in 60 years. More than 370,000 refugees are already crammed into three camps at Dadaab, built for a combined capacity of 90,000!

As part of World Food Day, I'm raising money to help support Oxfam's response and Gather to Grow event to the food crisis happening in East Africa.

You can find more about what Oxfam is doing here: https://www.oxfam.org.au/explore/conflict-and-natural-disasters/current-emergencies/africa-food-crisis

You can also donate here: https://www.oxfam.org.au/donate/current-appeals/gather-to-grow

This is a really important cause to support, so even if you only donate $5 you'd still make me really really happy! 

Here are some amazing photos from the BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-14119487
