Through my work experience I learned about efficient and smart  irrigation and purification systems and Israeli technology which has  helped deserts bloom not only in Israel but in Africa and maximize the  production of small sustainable farms in Kenya, Ethiopia and other  African countries. I believe Africa needs justice more than food, they  need a permanent solution rather than a temporary relief effort.

Can we bring this message to the organizations and partners involved?  Why not join efforts with private sector that can provide this  technology and create sustainable refugee camps and corridors that  refugees can use while trying to reach the camps? That way they could  have access to food and water along the way and minimize their risk to  perish in the attempt. No mother should ever have to chose among their  children, nobody should ever have to die because they have nothing to  eat or drink, no child should ever go hungry.

We not only have to work towards this famine crisis but we have to work  together to prevent one in the future. Cutting the problem by the roots  is how the hunger problem in Africa can be solved. The technology, the  funds and living in this era make Hunger inexcusable, there is no reason  for anyone to die because they have nothing to eat nor water.

Please feel free to contact me back, I can work on contacting and  supplying the contact information for many companies that could be able  to provide the equipment and plan of action for a project like this. We  all can do more than donating food to relieve hunger today if hunger  will be back tomorrow, we all know people need to eat everyday.

Thank you!
