Niger crisis

I don't want to get all preachy in a post but I received an e-mail last week from one of my most socially-conscious friends appealing for those of us who can to help with the crisis in Niger. It took his e-mail (and a few days) for me to finally contribute. I figured if I can spend $20 at the track, I can contribute to this...

If you want to help visit Unicef or Oxfam Canada or another aid organization. I also found a informative (as well as depressing) site about other worldwide emergencies.
