Aly,
I read a horrifying article in the NY Times about the drought in East Africa. Apparently there has been little or no rain for such a long time from Kenny north to Ethiopia and Somalia that crops are all withered, livestock is dying, and the conditions seem poised only to get worse. Is there any evidence of this where you are on the coast? Is there any discussion of the drought within your group?
No news yet on people to contact. More on that later once I get a chance to follow up (like th week of Feb 27th once my next grant application is submitted).
Love,
Dad
