Emaciated and parentless children, looking like walking skeletons, are arriving in camps in Kenya after walking for days without drink or food. Behind them, lie arid lands and warfare. Don't bother looking for the story on the front page of your newspaper. It is on page 11, hidden among sexier stories. Our front pages are reserved for earth-shattering events such as the death of Amy Winehouse. 11 million people are affected by the famine sweeping across the Horn of Africa. I don't know how e-news reporter Robyn Kriel does it - looking at a child die from starvation and parents not even a shred of tears in-tact. Everytime I watch Somalian inserts, I can't help but wonder if GOD hears their cries from hell - echoing in the wilderness.
DEAR GOD, PLEASE HELP THEM. THEY ARE STILL YOUR CHILDREN
