Sonja had seen the newscasts about starvation among the Ethiopian peoples, and government had sent one airlift of supplies (but had no plans to send a second shipment), so she was going to walk around the entire province of Nova Scotia with her sheepdog Sampson, for protection, to raise awareness and donations to put the Ethiopian situation back into the news, cycle.
