boundbooksThis is a multifandom auction, so if anyone from Dramione or Harry Potter fandom wants to offer their talents (or place bids), this is an auction for your talents (or cash). This fandom auction seriously needs some help getting the word out! They have promo banners.
If you offer up your talents, feel free to drop a comment to this post with a link to your offer and I'll put it under the cut. That way, other Dramione/Harry Potter people can find your offer and bid on it. You can specifiy which charity your money goes to, when you make an offer. My personal favorite is Doctors Without Borders/MSF. If you leave a comment here, I'll mirror it on the post at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Description: "You've probably heard by now, twelve million people are facing a hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, and they are in desperate need of help. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went on record saying is the most severe humanitarian emergency in the world today and the worst that East Africa has seen in several decades. The United Nations declared a famine in parts of southern Somalia, calling for a widespread international response to end the suffering.
Thousands of Somalis have been fleeing the country each week in search of food, water and shelter. The lucky may find their way to refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia. However, even with these refugee camps nearly half a million children are at risk of dying from malnutrition and disease.
helpsomalia hopes to raise funds to help provide relief organizations with funds via a fandom charity auction, much like ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
