    Africa is calling. Open your ears and your heart and take the leap. She won't disappoint. Here's a selection of images to inspire you:

    By Kellie Bright on Tue, 21/02/2012 - 4:18am , 0 comments

    In 2011, parts of East Africa were affected by the worst food crisis of the 21st century. People suffered prolonged drought and poverty, and were desperately in need of help.

    Oxfam Australia put out a call to everyday Australians, who in turn made donations that helped provide 2.8 million people with humanitarian aid in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. Your donations helped to provide urgent relief, and develop sustainable solutions to provide food for the future.
