<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>Some of you may not know that a combination of extremely poor rains last autumn and a precarious security situation has sent staple food prices sky high in and around Timbuktu.&nbsp; As always the poor and vulnerable suffer first and most.&nbsp; We have talked with our Tuareg friends there in the last few days, who describe a distressing and deteriorating situation.&nbsp; We have decided to raise as much money as possible and send it out there in the next two or three weeks.&nbsp; We are lucky that we can ask our existing networks in Timbuktu, which we can trust, to ensure the money is equitably spent on those most in need.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please help if you can.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
