In Kenya near the primary school is going through a serious drought. The school does not have enought water for them to drink let alone wash their hands. No food has arrived since January. Last year the school had 280 pupils now it is down to 90. The drought has been killing the cattle and leaves little or no food. Droughts are common in Kenya and the last bad one was 2 years ago. When it starts to rain, heavily armed nomads steal livestock from each other to stock up on those animals lost during the drought. I think that it is so sad to hear about this happening as I can get a drink of water any time I please. I wish that the US would spend more time helping Africa in all the ways they need help instead of spending money on rediculous things like Troops to Iraq. There should be more help to those kids and the commuinty so that they dont have to fear they will starve to death. Though the drought will end, another will come and they seem to need help in figuring out a way to control health issues during this time.
