My son Omar, who is eight, says we should help the children of Somalia. He visited the US State Department website, and learned that hundreds of thousands of Somalian children may die because of famine, drought, and civil war. He wants to find a way for his friends to do something. Our family knows nothing about fund-raising, but we thought creating this page might be a start. Omar would also like to invite Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to come to his school and talk about the crisis. We'll see if she's available. :)

Do you have the compassion of a child? Help Omar, an eight-year-old, help the hurting children of Somalia.

Thanks everyone for your amazing kindness. Also, any suggestions on how to improve this page would also be appreciated. For example, I see a typo in the text above, and can't figure out a way to correct it! Not as "digital" as I should be, I suppose. Anyway, pass the word about Omar's project and about the situation in Somalia. Thanks again. - S

What an amazing young man you are, Omar. When other 8-year-olds are begging for the newest video games, you are helping other children - children you've never even met. Good luck with this endeavor!
