In a statement released by WFP,50 cent said;
        To meet those kids was so inspiring, they have nothing, yet they are so positive and optimistic," What I am seeing is devastating — these women and children have risked everything to come to this Somalia camp, just to get food," "They need our help."I want to do my part so they get food and an education. I hope more people will join me to help end this devastating situation," 
  The U.N. last week declared an end to Somalia's six-month famine, though it said tens of thousands of people still need food aid to survive. The British government estimates that between 50,000 and 100,000 people died from the famine's effects.
