Somalis displaced from their home villages by famine and drought receive cooked food at a feeding center on August 16, 2011 in Mogadishu, Somalia. The center, which serves up cooked meals prepared from World Food Program aid, helps feed thousands of Somalis who have fled famine and drought in the countryside and have settled in makeshift camps throughout the Mogadishu.

San Diego has a large population of refugees who fled Somalia during the crisis there in the 90s. Now, with Somalia in the grips of a devastating famine, San Diego's Somali youth are taking the lead locally in raising money, food and awareness for their starving countrymen back home. Reporter Amita Sharma says they are motivated by the heart-wrenching images of famine and a hope their efforts might lead to a more stable future for their motherland.
