Question

can we still contribute for the starvation even now??
does anyone know?

Answer 1

If you buy it new from an authorized dealer, yes it does. If you buy it used (second hand) then no, it would not.

Here is the link to the official USA for Africa website, if you purchase the music from here you can be positive the sale will go to the cause:
