It’s no big deal. I talk about famine all the time while I am eating . And I have not turned into a pumpkin yet.

Food is part of it. What’s the point of a brunch if they are not eating?

We Ethiopians are kind people but our sense of fundraising is different than that of western culture. Our fundraising comes in a way of helping one another at the time of death, sickness or lending a hand at the time of joy too. I am proud of all of the above but i see how important it is to have famous people or accomplished people to participate in causes like this. besides raising important funds, they tend to highlight what is needed. Hope more of our celebrities take on the flame that is lighted in the living room of Marcus and Maya.

God Bless!

My concern is that talking about famine while feasting gives bad optics, devalue the message.

Cheers!

Today is no different. During world war II, one of the most important organizations in Harlem mobilization was the Provisional Committee for the Defense of Ethiopia – PCDE. Kudos to Ato Marcus Samuelsson and his elegant wife Wizero Maya Haile for continuing the tradition. Thank you for your initiative.

For $25 a plate they will enjoy the best Ethiopian food they have ever tested in their life prepared by yours truly! And for $5 a piece, they will get special “gursha” from moi! :-)

My only outstanding issue so far is where to send the money? As Marcus said, it is a big chain and if it does not reach the people, then it does not matter. Any help on that front, would be much appreciated!

Peace and prosperity to all people!

Seble

In fact Goldman Sachs created the Food Crisis. Have you heard of the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI)?

In 1984 a widespread famine devastated Eritrea and Ethiopia from 1984 to 1985. A large number of Ethiopians died in five provinces—Gojjam, Eritrea, Hararghe, Tigray, and Wollo. Mengistu Haile Mariam announced that 46% of the Ethiopian Gross National Product would be allocated to military spending, creating the largest standing army in sub-Saharan Africa; meanwhile, almost one million people perished. The repeated famines that struck Ethiopia are in large part created by government policies. It’s a shame the cycle has repeated itself.
