East Africa - Our response to the crisis.

Each month Red Herring Games gives 10% of all money taken through the site to charity.

We often donate to New Tribes Mission, but this month we have sent money towards the Tearfund Africa appeal in response to the critical situation there.

We've all seen the news and know that the drought in East Africa is the worst it's been for 70 years. What shocks me the most is that charities like Save the Children are struggling to raise 40 Million to respond to the crisis, but the euro lottery will give someone 100 Million this week. Is it just me, or are we willing to give more money with a billion to one chance of winning something rather then give money with a 100% chance of saving a life?

Rant over. But do check out the Tearfund appeal. Even if you can only donate a small amount of money - if we all give a £1 then they'll have more money then the lottery this week and there'll be food for everyone!
