A Food Security Alert

This was brought to my attention tonight and I'm near tears because although the crisis has been prevalent for years...worsening in more recent months...the region(s) severely affected hit close to home. To our hearts. It's personal now. And I feel so helpless.

And not to stray from the gravity of the situation, but I think we'll call sweet Mae our little girl's Habesha baby.

(Habesha is a term of pride that Ethiopians use to refer to themselves.)

Seems fitting wouldn't you say?
