How To Help Somalia: Options For Famine Relief (UPDATED)
www.huffingtonpost.com
UPDATED July 20, 2011 12 p.m. The U.N. has officially declared a "famine" in scorched-by-drought Somalia as droves of people pour into refugee camps, some having walked up to 30 days to reach safety.


with another link to care.

And one of my friends, supposed to be a Christian, always talking about serving God..wrote.."send them all condoms"

What the fuck does that have to do with starving children? What the hell is wrong with people?

3. Screenshots of stuff like that are nice. They post it publicly; it CAN be shared. Yep! at this point
I'm NOT above shaming them.

6. "Whatever you did not do for the least of these...
you did not do for me".

That seems like a very appropriate phrase for these times.

(I'm not a saint, or a Christian for that matter, it's just a phrase that I remembered out of the blue the other day that made me think).

10. I've known this person since high school..
she had a really bad reputation in school...people avoided her like the plague. I didn't, we got along and she was funny, I didn't care what other people said about her. I couldn't ostracize her, not my style, especially since they were nothing more than rumors.

I've never seen this side of her. She's the last person I would have thought I'd hear this from. *sigh*

11. I'll offer a solution.
Help her to understand reason. If Christians used "reason" more to convert people, they would have been absolutely successful. Sometimes people need to SEE the suffering to "get it". Ask her to help you with the homeless at the shelter for a week. Expose her to the truth!
