Kim Kardashian and Famine in the Horn of Africa

 

 

Did you really think Kim Kardashian actually thought, said, or did anything significant about the current famine in the Horn of Africa?

If so, let me dispel that notion for you, and draw your attention to this quip by A View from the Cave‘s Tom Murphy, who initially posted it on Facebook:

Fact: The declared famine in the Horn of Africa has lasted 1.57 Kardashian marriages. It will also cost 250 Kardashian weddings to fund the $2.5 billion relief effort.

Tom is also one of the brains behind DAWNS Digest — the acronym stands for “development and aid workers news service” — which is a great resource for anyone working in development. For less than $3 a month, you get the news relevant to your work delivered to your inbox.
