The current drought in Turkana forces many people to migrate to neighbouring Sudan and Ethiopia and many others to suffer , desperately seeking water and food for themselves and for their animas. Thirst and hunger hit both people and animals and the turkana are forced to share what little food relief they might get with their livestock desparetely trying to keep them alive. Raids by neighbouring tribes to grab what animals are left makes things even worse. As a volunteer with the Sophia Foundation for Children I visit Turkana very often concentrating on three communities supporting them regularly with food and a bore hole for water something which is very costly to build and maintain. It is by no means enough. I just wish more organisations and the government of Kenya would do more to help the people of this unique desert.
