I can see that I'm a bit out of my depth here.
So much suffering and not really being sure about
what to do, springs to mind. As SOG stated - the
guilt is overwhelming.
However Thanks for all of your ideas and inputs.
Anyway, I'm thinking about sponsoring some farm
animals:

And -

The sites seem reputable - I might look a bit further though
just to be sure.

Dear Individual,

Your suggestions would be helpful.
However, the situation in Africa is in crisis
and perhaps we can all do a little something?

Hello Lexi,
I too am gutted by the sight of these poor people and their babies, usually a strong character the sight of it all brought forth a dreadful bout of crying., unfortunately, we saw vision of mothers having to leave their babies on the street, because they (the mothers) didn't have the strength to carry them any more.
I really do believe that some contraceptive education should be carried out, it is so unfair on the children and subsequently the parents, when they can no longer fill their offsprings stomaches.
So very, very sad.

Lexi

The UN and others so called feed @@ programe has created an even bigger problem for animal welfare and i am horrified by the thought!

The other thing is vegetable and crop farming is far more of a help because its long term yields more and teachers them an ongoing skill to feed a family for life.

There is little being done and thats where it could make a big difference. Again however sending money? What about you check out the plants and the areas and we send containers of something that will pass quarantine & lobby getUp for volunteers to teach them + takes clothes .

cheers

Dear Kerryanne,

I am having second thoughts about sending animals.
However, the sites do cover supporting farming -
so you're right that is a better option that I will
look into.

Dear Noisy,

Your suggestion of family planning - is something that
definitely needs to be addressed. It results in such tragic
outcomes - and the futility of it all is hard to comprehend.
