Looking at the news there were many cases where there were 5 and 6 children in one family. I realise there has been a famine which was unexpected but I would hazard a guess that these families were never well off so should not have had so many children. Bring in compulsory sterilisation after two children and you will reduce the population and lessen the probem for the future. There are always problems in Africa and you won't sort them unless families are smaller in cases where couples are living on very low incomes.

No doubt the old line of "you have to pay the going rate" would be trotted-out if you were to ask them. stevmk2

Re: Oxfam
We give to several charities but Oxfam is not one of them, in fact all of the charities are home based, we believe charity begins at home.Africa may have starving millions and I feel sorry for them but where has all the charity money that has been donated to Africa over the years gone?
I dont decry you giving to a charity for Africa, everyone has their own charities and great if that is what they belive in. It is your money and you decide who to give it to. Any decent honest charity deserve all the help that they can get.
