Earlier this month, Sienna visited Ethiopia to see what the
International Medical Corps were doing about the famine in
Ethiopia. As their global ambassador, she is often off to far away
dangerous places trying to raise awareness about all the horrors of
the world that we all seem oblivious to as we go about our lives. I
was so swept up in the beauty and wonder of the London shows, and
when I saw these pictures it did sharpen my outlook somewhat. Not
to say that fashion isn't important, because we all get a lot of
pleasure from it, but I think it is important to put everything
into perspective now and again.
Sien says, "Without immediate humanitarian intervention, more
than 390,000 children are at risk of starvation. IMC is on the
ground providing emergency nutrition services and health care to
vulnerable populations in Ethiopia as well as in Kenya and Somalia,
but they need ongoing support to meet the massive needs, which are
only expected to expand in the coming months. Ongoing support will
literally make the difference between life and death for thousands
of children."

And hats off to my sis who never stops trying to do everything
she can, always.
