CELEB:Jackman and wife behind Africa appeal

Actor HUGH JACKMAN and his wife DEBORRA-LEE FURNESS are urging fellow Australians to
dig deep and help those hit by severe drought in the Horn of Africa.

FURNESS and JACKMAN are ambassadors for World Vision Australia.

They've been to Ethiopia and seen first-hand World Vision staff on the ground and FURNESS
says they're facing a crisis providing lifesaving food and water.

World Vision hopes to help more than 2.5 million people in the three most-affected
countries of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.
