PLEASE help the people in the Sahel. Food crises are a serious problem and need a lot of international assistance! Please do your part and donate to
UNICEF and/or join in the #socialmedia campaign to raise awareness about this growing problem.
More than 10 million people are at risk of starving to death. This includes 1 million children who are at risk of dying from severe acute malnutrition, according to UNICEF.
And the problem is only worsening! Aid organizations need YOUR help in order to save these people from death. So please do your part.

About Haley Behre
I graduated from Syracuse University in December 2011 with majors in newspaper journalism and women and gender studies. Using these majors, I aspire to become a journalist who writes about human rights issues.
I have held internships at the Syracuse New Times, Dash Media PR Firm, Syracuse Post-Standard and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. I also had an internship at the Not For Sale Campaign Syracuse chapter, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating human trafficking.
I was born in Seoul, Korea on September 30, 1990 and moved to the United States before I was one year old. When I was 8, my family and I moved to Norwich, England for three years. While I was here I was immersed into a new culture and got to experience many things other children my age do not get to. Over the three years, I visited Ireland, France and the Netherlands several times, and Belgium, Wales and Sweden once.
In the winter of 2010, I got an amazing opportunity to visit Kenya for a month. This was by far the single most eye-opening experience of my life thus far. The natural beauty of the landscape and its people do not compare to anything I have seen.
I currently intern for the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press in the hopes of getting a full-time job at a newspaper or non-profit after.
