I see a group of dairy farmers are coming together to help starving children in Yemen.
Those who saw the RTÉ News report recently of a father in famine-ravished Yemen feeding his malnourished baby with just water and sugar, due to a lack of milk, could not but be galvanised into action.
The suggestion is that every farmer in Ireland should donate the value of the milk from one cow for one day.

Longford farmer Mike Magan is one of the farmers behind the initiative. He wants farmers to lobby their co-op managers to work with the Irish Red Cross, which will distribute the aid on behalf of the dairy farmers of Ireland. The Dealer encourages every farmer to ring somebody to make this small gesture happen.
