Fundraising for the Lost Boys of Africa
What is the level of your awareness of situations outside of our own lives. The lost boys of Sudan are famous in their own right and yet still exist in the same conditions as all other refugees and IDP’s. If we continue to think that millions of IDP’s and Refugees are the stereotypical “communist bastards” who shoot each other up via suicide bombs, people who ransack, pillage and burn fariks and other villages with the prized Kalashnikov rifles then, of course, no one would do a damn thing, but if the common American individual starts realizing that it is governments who are supporting their own military recruits to commit these atrocities… Did you know these recruits are just boys? Just children who know no better than to follow the word of their elders, walking into the hands of the manipulative and utterly destructive political agendas of the power hungry leaders.
Just maybe we might begin to do something about it. Begin helping now.
While relative peace has come to the southern Sudan, decades of civil war has left the region without the basic infrastructure for programs such as education and healthcare.
As the feature film “God Grew Tired of Us” has raised awareness of the issues of southern Sudan and of the plight of the “Lost Boys of Sudan,” John Dau (one of “Lost Boys” featured in the film) created this project to both educate the public on how they can have an impact AND to provide direct financial assistance to improve the delivery of healthcare and education in the southern Sudan as well as provide education to the Lost Boys in Africa.
If you feel like you need to do more. I have my own fundraising page through Direct Change.org They are a great group of people who put every penny towards the refugees themselves.
