Here's an opportunity to learn more about the crisis in the Horn of Africa. Please note that this call is through ONE, not Oxfam America, but since USAID and World Food Programme will be speaking, this should be a good resource for timely information:
Right now a crisis is unfolding in the Horn of Africa. The region is confronting the worst drought in 60 years, while a staggering 11.6 million people severely lack access to food and water. Tens of thousands of lives have already been lost due to this famine. Meanwhile, the United States is working with the international community around the clock to avert a major humanitarian disaster.
USAID Administrator Raj Shah just returned from the region and has asked to speak directly with ONE members about some important developments he's seen on the ground and what we can do right now to help.
The call will begin TODAY (Wednesday) at 5:10 PM PDT. Just RSVP here, and they'll call you promptly at 5:10: http://act.one.org/go/33?akid=2336.1476897.21o_cd&t=3
