Have you eaten recently?

I have just watched the most uncomfortable 90 minutes of television that I have seen for a very long time. Ethiopia: A Journey with Michael Buerk focused not only on the famine of twenty years ago and the report that prompted Sir Bob Geldof to prick the world's conscience but also the dark future that Ethiopia now faces through overpopulation. As the film pointed out, it is the cruelest irony that the country has the biggest natural reserves of water in the African continent still faces drought & famine almost every year.

If, like me, you live a comfortable life, have a meal in your stomach and have little that truly troubles you, maybe you might choose to mae a donation to one of the charities working in Ethiopia.
