It is so sad what is happening in South Africa and its neighboring countries. I was really shocked when I read that over 100 elephants died in a national park of dehydration.

When I was younger I would always hear about el ninos and la ninas and their effects on our coastline here in CA. But I never realized that there was such strong effects for the counties on the other side of the pacific. It makes me sad the bubble I lived in, but I guess that comes with time. You learn more to get out of that bubble.

Drought is detrimental to food and nutrition security as well as livelihood. It reduces crop yield and income for those who rely on farm produce for their living. Malawi is not experiencing drought for the very first time. So what measures have been put in place to build resilience against drought to prevent the misery it brings to the population?
