Press Release:

Saving children in southern Somalia must be first priority

More than a million children in need of life-saving interventions


NAIROBI, 29 July 2011 - With an estimated 1.25 million children across Southern Somalia in urgent need of life saving interventions and 640,000 acutely malnourished,

UNICEF called for all actors to make saving children's lives the top priority, and to urgently support all efforts to reach children in need.

"The children of Southern Somalia desperately need our help. Too many of them have already died and many others are at great risk unless we act now," said Rozanne Chorlton, UNICEF Somalia Representative. "Families shouldn't have to leave their homes... mothers and their children shouldn't have to endure days of perilous journey in search of food and water, and then face a life of uncertainty in a camp."

"All our energy should be focused on saving lives."

To reach children as quickly as possible, UNICEF, along with its partners, has mounted a massive scale up of its operation and is using all avenues available to get supplies into the region. So far this month, the child rights' agency has brought in enough supplementary feeding supplies for 65,000 children in the drought affected regions of Southern Somalia. These supplies are being distributed by partners on the ground.

Alaska Land of Dreams

I woke up this morning to a cloudy, overcast sky,
pregnant with life giving rains....said my morning
prayers, stood with arms stretched to the sky and
felt that lovely rain on my face and skin, feeling joyous,
and then came in to see what was in my inbox that
might need my attention.

What I came across just saddened me.  I don't know
why I continue to be surprised at what this patriarchal
government does for us, but nevertheless I always
hold out hope, only to have those hopes dashed time
and again.  For a long time now I have aligned myself
with saving our Alaskan Sacred Lands and Waters and
her inhabitants.  I sign petition after petition to keep
these lands and waters free from big oil companies who
want to drill and make more of a mess on Mother Earth.
I've sent petitions to President Obama, the Oil Companies
and to Ken Salazar, and now it seems that is all going to
fly out the window.  One of the first headlines I saw as
I was signing on this morning will lead you to read this.

http://news.yahoo.com/us-opens-ways-shell-arctic-ocean-drilling-103118020.html

I truly feel our government does not care if we kill our waters,
and all of the life that depends upon those waters...the Whales,
Polar Bears, The Indigenous Peoples who depend upon these
pristine waters and lands for survival, the government does not
care or this would not be on the table for approval!  I am saying
this as a spiritual being!  When do we begin to take the moral
high ground here and see that we are perpetrating our own
demise?  It baffles me to the very core!  And then I read a
stupid statement by Rep. Michelle Bachman that really sends
me over the top..."Some suggestions are that perhaps we would
see an enhancement of wildlife expansion because of the warmth
of the pipeline...The [existing Alaska pipeline] has now become
a meeting ground and 'coffee klatch' for the caribou."   Source:
the Alaskan Wilderness League - Alaska Wild Update.)  I mean
REALLY?  You have got to be kidding me!  What rolls around in
this woman's brain?  As you can tell I am a little over the top
angst out?  We cannot eat oil, we cannot clean up an oil spill
in the Alaskan Waters!   We have not learned one damned thing
from the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico!  We continue to use
old outdated forms of energy that are killing us all and yet
President Obama signed the legislation that will allow Shell
and other subsidiaries the right to drill.   My feet, my spirit
stand firm on this one.  If all the cars in the world stopped
running today because we didn't have gas and oil to put in
them my heart would be running over with thanks and
gratefulness.  It is time to put into action the solar, wind,
hydro power that is waiting to be used.  Once again our
legislators, representatives in Congress and the House,
and the White House itself hold us back from being a whole
and healthy world.  Other countries are doing it, why can't we?
If you'd like to read more about the Alaskan Wilderness
League here is a link:
http://www.alaskawild.org/     and go one further and read
this story by Debbie S. Miller and here is the link for that:
http://www.alaskawild.org/on-the-utukok-river-by-debbie-s-miller/?akid=75.50111.bbMSvP&rd=1&t=4     while you are there you can
listen to a caribou cow and calf...and now that I've gotten all of
this off my chest, another Sunday morning coming down, perhaps
I'll channel these energies into ways that will be beneficial,
instead of ranting and raving....but seriously how often do you
have to listen to me rant?  I am glad I chose to speak though.

Here are some beautiful pics of the Alaskan Wilderness...I hope
you enjoy them and know deep within that what affects one,
affects all.  I know you do.  I pray you all a day of incredible
joy and beauty, wherever you are and whatever you do!

A'HO!
