African Children’s Fund are involved in an emergency appeal for Kenya, we all know why.  Even though things seem to be settling down a little in that troubled country there are still many displaced children and in this appeal the letter describes the usual horrors of these situations.  What most impresses me is the effectiveness of even a small donation; £15 providing enough to feed a family of four for two weeks, £10 buys blankets and mattresses for a whole family and what about £50 providing 1,500 meals.  Cost effective?  I certainly think so although they are using the ubiquitous Ross on Wye freepost address.  I have asked before the question how much of my donation will be used in Africa and how much in Herefordshire?  Perhaps it is not a fair question; donations have to be processed somehow.
