The World Food Program (WFP) has called for more contribution to urgently assist about twenty million individuals in Africa who may be affected by erratic rain fall.
According to WFP, erratic rains recently experience as a result of climate change has led a high increase in the prices of food and may also lead to a prolonged food crisis.
The Executive Director of the Program Josette Sheeran appealed for more assistance to the United Nations' food body after Spain double its aid to it to enable the body address persisting hunger in Africa.
Describing Spain as a model for others to imitate, the Executive Director explained that the donation came on the heels of the just concluded World Summit on Food Security in Rome, Italy.
"The extra ordinary contribution brings hope and help to more than twenty million people that we are committed to assisting in the horn of Africa", he said.
Sheena added that with this move, Spain is the largest donor to the body's appeal for fund to the vulnerable in Africa after it launched an emergency appeal for $ 1 billion in September.

Life Is A Game. Have Fun . Luke 18:17 - Isaiah 11:6
INDEPENDENT FARMERS UNION IDEA
I'm an entrepreneurial sort of person and I got an idea along those lines that I believe many of us who are grassroots thinkers have been overlooking.
So here goes my idea :
a) We have all kinds of Farmers and Farms that are struggling to make a profit. I believe that they are struggling because they are farming under a kind of Third World system that advantages the persons who convert what farmers produce.
b) In most Third World countries , the First & Second World countries will only build enough infrastructure to allow shipment of RAW MATERIALS from their source(s) to the modes of shipping transportation used to transport the RAW MATERIALS to those First & Second World countries that will turn the RAW MATERIALS into processed goods.
* For example - They will build a railroad line of tracks from some Third World country's gold and diamond mines ( e.g. Zaire ) to the Giant Ships docked and waiting to carry them to processors and sellers such as De Beers, Coca-Cola , Cadbury's etc..
c) What kinds of RAW MATERIALS do Farmers produce and/or have access to :
* Gold - Rice , Cocoa ,Mangos, etc
d) Major Problems stopping small farmers from taking advantage of the possibility of turning your products into a profitable business : LACK OF TIME
e) Solution - My Idea : Form an Independent Union Of Farmers . Having a Coop is great, but its only a way of further enriching the processors of our RAW MATERIALS.
* How would this work ?
1) Each Region would represent a chapter of this Independent Farmers Union
2) Generally speaking, each farmer would retain all of their rights ; just as they had before they joined the Independent Farmers Union .
3) The Independent Farmers Union would be finance collectively by individual members paying dues.
4) These dues which would be used to set-up business ventures in each Independent Farmers Union's Region.
Some Examples Of Businesses That could be set up
* Chicken Processing Plant, and restaurants that would sell the chickens could be supplied right their in each Independent Farmers Union's Region.
* Produce Markets
* Dairies
* Ice Cream Parlors (using fresh milk)
* Fast Food and/or Restaurants - featuring meat from various farm animals
* Supermarkets
* Chocolate Processors instead of giving your cocoa to companies like Cadburys. What do companies like DeBeers, Coca Cola,Cadburys and others have that entitles them to get rich off of our Natural wealth ? NOTHING.. We empower them by our economic laziness !!!
5) The Independent Farmers Union's would need persons with expertise in areas concerning the setting up and running of these businesses on behalf of the Independent Farmers Union's.
WE ARE MAKING HUNDREDS WHILE GIVING AWAY BILLIONS TO OUR ECONOMIC SLAVE MASTERS !!!
THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T TAKE CONTROL OF OUR OWN COUNTRY !
- FEED YOURSELVES SUGGESTION -
NEIGHBORHOOD COOP GREENHOUSES
ANOTHER SUGGESTION IS FOR THOSE LIVING IN THE CITY TO POOL
THEIR RESOURCES TOGETHER AND MAKE NEIGHBORHOOD COOP
GREENHOUSES . HERE YOU CAN GROW SOME KIND OF FOODS AND NOT
BE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON GROCERY STORES.
HERES SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT BLACK AFRICANS HAVE DONE :

Life Is A Game. Have Fun . Luke 18:17 - Isaiah 11:6
Uplift, How can you blame another country(s) for lack of rain using technology?
You always end your comments with passages from the bible. Tell me, is there not a God who is in control of everything?
All of Africa is landlocked. No oceans for miles.
What causes rain? Condensation - coolness at night as long as there are trees will cause dew the next morning. If you keep on burning wood to make coals; smoke fish and other edibles to preserve for food (lack of electricity); what do you think will happen to the atmosphere? It will become dry/hot. Remember that hot air rises and cold air descends (rain). So there is no way rain can really fall when it is smokey and hot air rising constantly in Africa.
Ponder on these things. Think of the causes and not the problems. That is what all of Africa should concentrate on for changes to take place.
Love your list of black inventors. I have a video on that myself. Your second comment is quite good, makes sense, but does not relate to the article in question.
Peace and Love.
