I am (as you read this), insha’Allah, on my way to Kenya / Somali border for food (adults) / nutrition biscuits (children) distribution worth US$75k to the starving populace there. Alhamd’Allah, our earlier appeal was well received, we raised close to US$75k; we have upped target to US$95k; additional US$20k (perhaps more?) to be sent in as funding / logistics dictate. A detailed report with photos coming up soon, insha’Allah.
