Famine in the Horn Fundraiser

The famine in the Horn of Africa has already claimed the lives of 29,000 children under the age of five and is reported to threaten the lives of 12.4 million people in Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti and Ethiopia. Somali refugees are flooding across the Kenyan border by the thousands. Dadaab, the world’s largest refugee camp, was built for 90,000 people but now houses over 400,000 making it Kenya’s fourth largest city by population size.

Join the African Society of Georgetown and UNICEF-Georgetown for a dinner, raffle, and education about the on-going famine on Friday, September 30 at 7:30pm. Tickets are only $10 and will be sold in Leavey Center until the day of the dinner. Or buy your ticket online at: http://gufaminefundraiser.eventbrite.com

All proceeds will go to UNICEF.
