Join Islamic Relief USA and the Austin community for a fundraising dinner to support humanitarian efforts in East Africa.

More than 13 million people across East Africa are facing the worst drought in 60 years:
--700,000 Somalis have left their country to seek help in Kenya and Ethiopia.
--50% of Somali children in the refugee camps are so malnourished they may die within days of arriving.
--The infant mortality rate of babies in Kenya has tripled in recent days because of the drought.

Join us to help make a difference in their lives.
