International Day for the Eradication of Poverty – 17 October 2009
It’s Official: Starving People now over 1 Billion …..
Yes – According to the UN there are more than that finding the going tough.
Curious though that food price inflation of around 19% is considered to be the main cause followed by serious drought in parts of East Africa?

Please visit them and find out what great work they are doing in helping many who were displaced by The Lord’s Army – terrorists and some!
Under the New Project launched by thendt Network we have adopted Uganda as the country we will work with to achieve the target of the ethos of our network.
