The Gayken, Humanitarian

Clay Aiken was in the African nation of Somalia on Wednesday and appealed to the world not to forget Somalia, where conflict and hunger have created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

Clay traveled to the struggling nation as a U.N. goodwill ambassador.

Aiken went on to say that the U.S. and international interest in Somalia had been minimal since failed military intervention in the early 1990s, "There hasn't been much discussion of Somalia since the early 1990s in the U.S. The American population kind of got a bad taste of Somalia in the early 90's and hasn't really had much interest in the country since."

We tip our hat to Clay for getting involved and using his 'fame' for a good cause.

Did he take his boyfriend on the trip???
