Campaign for Afghan Children
--------------------------------------------------
Mercy Corps seeks to raise $5 million for its
Campaign for Afghan Children to save the lives of
50,000 children facing severe hunger and homelessness
in northeastern Afghanistan. 

The window of opportunity is extremely narrow. By the
end of November, snow and ice will leave the area
inaccessible to land traffic until April 2002,
cutting off valley towns from relief shipments and
placing more than 10,000 displaced families at risk.     

For just $45, an Afghan child can be fed, housed and
have access to sanitary water for six months.

To learn more about Mercy Corps' most ambitious
relief effort to date or to contribute to the Campaign
for Afghan Children, please visit:

http://www.charitywatch.org/topgrps.html gives Mercy Corps an A rating.

The last numbers i saw, the US was dropping "thousands" of meals, while up to 7 million people are in danger of starvation.
