Drought in Niger

The country of Niger is experiencing an extreme drought. The drought is creating a severe lack of food for the residents of the country. Since the harvest of September 2009, the country is barely providing for their citizens. The United Nations has decided to up their spending in order to aid the country of Niger. The UN plans on feeding 7.9 million people this year including those who live within Niger.
The UN is doing a great job of helping countries in need to feed their citizens. I believe the UN has the resources to help more than they already do. While they are helping to feed the people in Niger, I believe they could also provide lessons in teaching the people how to farm.
