Turkish Airlines has pledged to fly a plane of food and water to Somalia following a Twitter campaign led by YouTube stars and Hollywood actor Ben Stiller.

The airline, which is the only commercial carrier to service Mogadishu airport, gave the celebrities 10 days to raise the funds for the supplies. They reached their $1 million target in less than a day.

It all started when former Vine star Jerome Jarre posted a video to Twitter calling for action. He was moved by a story about a six year old Somali girl who died from dehydration after having to walk 150 kilometres to find water with her mother. The Horn of Africa is in the grips of famine, with 6.2 million Somalis in need urgent humanitarian aid -- approximately half of the country's population.

A bunch of online celebrities joined in, including YouTuber Juanpa Zurita, NFL star Colin Kaepernick and Ben Stiller, promoting the hashtag #TurkishAirlinesHelpSomalia.

It wasn't long before the airline tweeted back:

We ❤Somalia. We got the call for this meaningful flight. @jeromejarre @redhourben @ELJuanpazurita #TurkishAirlinesHelpSomalia

Turkish Airlines has pledged to send a plane of supplies to Somalia on March 27. It gave the campaign organisers 10 days to raise the funds for the supplies and a GoFundMe page was set up with the initial goal of $1 million US. This goal was reached in less than 24 hours. At the time of publication, it was up to $1.6 million out of a new goal of $2 million.

Sending unsolicited donations does have it's pitfalls. As Red Cross Disaster Response Manager Jessica Lees previously told The Huffington Post Australia, donations can end up in the wrong hands or can cause more harm than good if there isn't an established NGO to receive and distribute the goods.

However, this project seems to be on track so far. The fundraising page states that donations will be collected through Stiller's own charity and then passed on to the American Refugee Committee (ARC). The first flight will take 60 tonnes of food, including rice, cooking oil, porridge, nutritional biscuits, flour, sugar and porridge. And they won't stop at one shipment.

"Not only they are making available a full cargo flight that can fly 60 TONS OF FOOD, but they agreed to let us ship food containers on their commercial aircraft to Somalia, UNTIL THE END OF THE FAMINE !!!" says a statement on the GoFundMe page.

The guy who kicked it all off, Jerome Jarre, thanked people who donated already in a video posted to twitter. He also let slip that Ben Stiller has already started filming the whole thing to make a documentary about the project and to maintain transparency about how the funds are being used.

INTERNET YOU DID IT !!! 💪

WE HAVE AN AIRPLANE & WE HAVE FOOD !!!

WHAT IF WE COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING?

The message is continuing to go viral, with people being nominated to create a video for the cause using the tag #NominatedForSomalia.

People around the world are moved by this heartwarming story of an idea being propelled via social media into reality. And Jarre and co. are pumped about what they've started.

On behalf of all somalis Thank you, Team #lovearmyForsomalia. We love you too. You've spoken for us while the mainstream media was silent

Turkish Airlines To Send Supplies To Somalia After Social Media Campaign

Keven Stonewall (pictured), 19, is on a serious mission: he hopes to one day create a vaccine that will eradicate colon cancer. The Chicago South Side youth has already started working on a potential cancer cure at a Rush University laboratory, reports DNAInfo Chicago.

The youth's love of science began back in fifth grade, when he became fascinated by the appearance of cells under a microscope. Stonewall's love of the sciences grew to such extremes that one Christmas he was gifted four microscopes by his parents who are educators. It was during his freshman year at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences that Stonewall began focusing on the need for the eradication of colon cancer. He watched not only a dear friend's uncle succumb to the disease but witnessed first hand how the illness negatively impacted his school mate, telling DNAInfo Chicago, "Cancer has taken over a whole bunch of lives, and I felt like I needed to step up and do something about it."

Stonewall was a senior in high school when he jumped on the opportunity to do an internship at the university, which is the academic arm of the Rush Medical Center. He worked in the lab with a professor who taught immunology/microbiology and general surgery. Stonewall began to consume literature about how a chemotherapeutic agent could possibly destroy certain cancer cells while still promoting a healthy immune response.

The young researcher, who has already won numerous awards for his research and was a finalist for the Intel International Science and Engineer Fair last year, then began testing his potential vaccine on mice. He injected a concentrated amount of the cancer-treating drug Mitoxantrone in younger and older mice. Stonewall then injected the rodents with aggressive colon cancer cells.
Stonewall waited three days to check out the effects of his experiment: The younger mice benefitted from the vaccine as their cancer was in fact eradicated and they had developed immunity. The older mice were still riden with the cancerous tumors.
According to Rush lab's Director Dr. Carl Ruby, Stonewall's experiment was quite a breakthrough as scientists now see that a special vaccine is needed for older cancer subjects: Colon cancer is more prevalent among the elderly. Ruby spoke to DNAInfo Chicago about Stonewall, saying, "[He] should be heralded for helping to develop more effective colon cancer treatments that will impact the elderly, the population that is most susceptible to colon cancer. He has all the tools. He will go far."

Stonewall, who is now a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, is still working on the vaccine that he prays will one day be tested on humans. The young man is keeping hope alive that his work will in fact be the answer to a dreaded disease that has taken the lives of many, so until then, he tells the New York Daily News, "If you don't plan to succeed, you're planning to fail."

1. During my senior year I will be taking a Forensic science class to see if It would be something that would interest me.
2. If I am still interested, in college I will take the basic forensic science programs first.
3. If I am not interested in forensic science, in college I will take general psychology.
4. I then will take history of psychology.
5. Hopefully by then I will know what field of physiology I would want to be in, but I would take experimental psychology.

As many people would say their parents are their inspiration, well me too. My relationship with my parents can't be compared to what other people's relationship with their parents is. They've thought me the skills of kindness, strength, compassion. In my life as I grow ready for the future I want to further myself into being like them.
