The Rotaract Club of Jumeirah, a volunteer service club organization sponsored by the Rotary Club of Jumeirah Dubai decided to support the activities of the UAE Red Crescent in Somalia, by a series of fund raising events.
With a need of $1.6 billion in the next 12 months to provide aid to the region said Jacques Diouf, Director, Food and Agriculture Organisation; the Rotaract Club of Jumeirah decided to act and support the UAE Red Crescent by arranging for a series of fund raising events in Dubai.
A charity iftar has been organised and gathered people from the community sympathizing for the cause. The ‘Flea Market’ also saw volunteers from the Rotaract Club of Jumeirah joining forces, to raise awareness as well as funds that would help people in Somalia, who are facing the outcome of droughts leading to famine, and malnutrition.
The famine in the Horn of Africa has already killed tens of thousands of people and risks leaving a generation of physically mentally stunted children, the UN World Food Program said.
What do you think is each individual responsibilities when it comes to humanitarian crises? What could be the role of the GCC at a larger scale to avoid the worse in Somalia?
Looking forward to your comments.
