South Sudan may be thousands of miles away, but lets not allow them to fall out of heart and mind this Thanksgiving. The young African nation, which gained independence in 2011, is on the brink of famine.

We must do everything we can to save South Sudan, one of the most dangerous frontlines in the war against global hunger. Fighting between the government and opposition forces has displaced millions and caused severe food shortages.

Imagine being a farmer in South Sudan. You need to grow crops to feed your family and sell to make an income. But when the fighting starts, you cannot work your land, and you have to flee. The farmland and your home are destroyed, and you dont know when you will get back to rebuild.
