Food First's Seeds and Pumps for Gao, Mali
Since April 1, 2013 Food First has been conducting a fundraising drive to help hungry farmers get back to feeding themselves and their families. Drought and conflict have taken a heavy toll. But now it's time to plant. And you can help.
On April 11, we met our goal of $5,000 and raised that goal to $10,000.
You can help us meet this new goal. Donations received on April 24 will receive a 15% match. Learn more about Food First's seeds and pumps campaign at http://goto.gg/13625
Land rush in Europe comparable with Africa, Asia and Latin America

Help Hungry Families in Gao, Mali plant gardens and rice fields
