We have seen many times over that when it comes to drought, the families need to survive overrides the long term educational development of children.

Our efforts must ensure that we meet the families' immediate survival needs without necessarily compromising the long term future of their children.

The abolition of school fees -- it is critical. But it is a first step. Some people, they look at education and think you can just fix it like you can vaccinate against polio. But it is much more complicated.

A worse drought than we have seen recently may loom in our future.

I have seen the TV reports on the horrendous drought in East Africa and I know how desperate things have become, so I am happy to be able to do something to help.

When I came into the NFL, it was an escape. It became my way to survive, not just in a financial way.
