Famine in Niger and Links for Donations

ThriftyFun is donating $2 for every photo entry sent in through Sunday, August 7th to UNICEF. Urgent appeals have been made for help for famine-stricken Niger where more than one million people are at risk from starvation after a locust invasion worsened an already poor harvest. Since we posted our proposed donation, some of you have written asking how to help. If you want to help, here is a list of organizations gathering aid:
