[Mitai-announce] Movie today and tomorrow with donations to drought/famine victims in Horn of Africa

[Cory Hernandez]

This movie is a sort of Ethiopian soap opera with subtitles in English. The
producers, Habesha Productions and Abey21Film Productions are screening the
movie today and tomorrow at the movie theater at 168 Alewife Brook Parkway
and will be donating a percentage of the ticket monies to aid drought and
famine victims in the Horn of Africa. I've been asked to assist them and
provide some info about the situation there. The UN has declared multiple
famine zones and WFP is targeting 11.5 million people in dire need of food
assistance. I thought it was nice of the Ethiopian film producers to rally
the local Ethiopian community to raise money for this most worthy cause.
