But neither was it easy for children living in the poorest families and poorest communities in this country to raise enough money to feed thousands of villagers in Ethiopia. If we are to meet the challenge presented to us by our witnesses this morning. we must make Africa a priority both in terms of shortterm emergency assistance and longterm development. We must follow the example of save the children by encouraging development so that subsistence farming will be possible once the rains come. For once children and their families are driven out of villages by hunger. they become refugees within their own country. Their chances for survival depend upon whether they can walk the many miles to an emergency feeding station. Last session.
