Dymally, Mervyn M., 1926-2012

Linda H. Bauer wrote to Senator Mervyn Dymally regarding the hunger crisis that occurred in Africa, from 1983 through 1985, Ethiopia Famine was one of the worst events to ever occur because of chronic drought. Bauer asked Senator Dymally and other Senators and Congressmen to pick one of their favorite foods to be included in the “Congressional Cookbook for Africa." Proceeds from this book will be used by the International Red Cross to protect the victims from violence, and offer resources for families to keep on experiencing hunger. Organizations such as Aid of Africa help families with food assistance, cash allowances, and building water supply in their households or neighborhoods. In a letter written to Dymally, Congressman John Kasich raises the issue of famine in Africa, and states that a cookbook organized by Ohio Congresswoman (12th District) Linda H. Bauer Congresswomen will raise funds. The cookbook will feature recipes from fellow members of Congress. Proceeds collected from the sale of the cookbook with be donated directly to the Red Cross in an effort of helping the famine crisis in Africa. Kasich is asking for Dymally's assistance and support.
