Who does not like some famine trivia?

Ok this has been bugging me for a week now and I cannot find the answer on the internet (shocking), but what was the name of the Ethiopian kid that was on the Salley Struthers commercial back in the 80's? (Please no "Starvin Marvin" replys, I am looking for the original kids name, it was only his first name.)

Anyone remember?

Unfortunatley that was not the name I almost remember, the commercial was just Salley introducing us to the kid and his plight, the name was not Jamal I do know that. It was something else. Thanks though.
