On the Save the Children website, the news issue that was most recent was the Hunger crisis in Africa. They are experiencing droughts and raising food prices that are causing 80% of children to be going without food, traveling to refugee camps and arriving sick and hungry.

Cassie,
Thanks for sharing the information regarding "Saving the Children"...this was a very interesting and heart warming website. As Americans, I just don't think we know how blessed we really are!
Hi Cassie,
The organization called Save the Children is a wonderful and special organization because it helps children world wide when a disaster or tragedy strikes. The current issue about the children in Africa are going hungry because of the drought is very sad. All children in the world should never have to be hungry. God bless the children in Africa.
Thank you for sharing. I am going learn more about Saving the Children it seem very interesting.
Cassie,
I agree with the other's about the Save the Children organization. What a wondeful organization that helps so many children in need. I can't even imagine surving a drought and other disasters that they face. We really don't know how good we have it.
Cassie, As I read the information on the hunger in Africa. My Pastor has an international ministry that helps those families in Africa. They have food that goes to their country yearly and money to help with having running water in their homes. It is an awesome ministry on how to help others abroad who do not have what we have in America. "Saving the Children" is an awesome organization.
Hi Cassie you picked a good web site it was very knowledgable and informative I just wish that there was more we can do.
