The Global Food Crisis is crippling many parts of the globe. Why aren't we reading about billion dollar bail outs for this GFC? One of the hotspots is the Horn of Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Somalia) where over 12 million people are urgently needing food. You can learn more, donate or tell us your thoughts on the 'other GFC' now.

Hey Stirrers,

Firstly, thanks to the 12,700 people who got behind our Big Chocolate Campaign, either on a postcard or online.

Now for a confession: I don't have shares. I haven't travelled overseas lately. I don't think much about Superannuation. So maybe that's why I feel so disconnected from the Global Financial Crisis that is filling the front page of every newspaper and website.

Eating on the other hand, I know a bit more about that... and I think you might too.

That's why we're talking about the 'Other GFC' in this edition of STIRMail: the Global Food Crisis.

Keep stirring,
- Nige

Man, what a mega week the Trek Against Trafficking was!

150 delegates from every state converged on Canberra to talk to pollies, retailers and get trained to blitz the nation in 2009.

VGen National Strategy and Operations Director, Brett Woods, reflects on the success of the Trek: "It was simply an amazing week. To get everyone together and train them up so they can go back to their communities all fired up was great!" Missed the Trek? Catch all the action here >>
Earlier this year we caught up with 2007 ASP surfing World Champ Mick Fanning to find out what stirs him. Now that we're rolling into summer, we thought it was high time to unveil the footage.
