Appeal to fans: help Africa

3rd August 2011 / Comments (1) / Views (694)

If ever, then now is the time for the world to help Africa, especially the countries around the African horn. According to a Slovenian activist Tomo Križnar there are 55 million lives at risk because of intense heat and drought. People are fleeing from suburbs to cities by foot and without any supplies, so mothers are forced to abandon their dying children by the road to at least save themselves. A catastrophe the rest of the world can't even imagine and still the developed countries stand by and hardly do anything.

We at [1605] decided to make a small contribution towards the problem. We bought 400 kg of rice that will be shipped to Africa and hopefully we'll be able to save at least some lives. The only purpose of posting this is to urge [1605] fans to do the same and donate what you can, even if it's just one or two euros. Look for your local charity that you trust the most and ask what you can do to help.

More info for Slovenian donations can be found here.

Thank you,
