Yep! This headline is what I get to wake up every morning to: "ALERTNET EXPRESSO: Your daily shot of humanitarian news." Though I don't have the time I wish I had everyday to soak myself up in the crises that are affecting our children around the world, I do try to stay up to date with the most volatile situations - and most specifically in Ethiopia. Along with this news is a daily quote from a humanitarian worker or news reporter in an affected region. Today it was about Ethiopia. I wish I could write more but I'll just simply leave you with the quote:
Quote of the day:
"Tea in Ethiopia is drunk very sweet, and this cup contained the very last of the community's sugar - and while they were starving, they gave it to me."Rob McNeil, on a trip to Ethiopia for Oxfam, describing his experiences in some of the regions worst-hit by drought.
