Join the fun on 28th October 2011 and Wear It Pink in support of the Breast Cancer Campaign.

donate to africa

Instead of my usual weekend links, I’m sharing just one idea with you today and asking you to make a donation to the DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal.

We spend our weeks giving our children the best start in life, filling their days with play and fun and learning, but life for so many children is so very different.

The severe drought in East Africa is putting the lives of over 10 million people under threat, with some facing the worst drought in 60 years. Thousands of children need our help.

Get your children drawing and support the No Child Born To Die campaign.

One of our friends is off on a life-changing trip this weekend. Chris from Thinly Spread, and a  Play Academy regular, is going to Mozambique with Save the Children.

Chris will be seeing first hand the work Save the Children are doing in their No Child Born To Die campaign, focussing on their campaign to stop children dying from diseases that could be prevented through immunisation. Chris will be following the journey of a vaccine as it makes its way out to a rural community. This is ahead of the global vaccines summit which is being hosted by David Cameron in London next month.
