Hope for the Children of Southern Sudan

Here's what is happening...

In the past two decades, more than 2 million people have lost their lives through violence, disease and starvation in southern Sudan due to a North vs. South civil war.

In Western Sudan, in the Darfur region, the Coalition for International Justice released a report in April, 2005 stating that approximately 400,000 men, women and children had been killed due to genocide in the region.

Years of food shortage, displaced children/families, and disease have forced millions (35 million+) to live in crowded refugee camps. Thousands have died and continue to die, needlessly.

This is Sudan, a country in crisis.

From the voices of children on the run...

"On the way to Ethiopia the first time, it had been the extreme dry season when we went through Pochala. Now with the heavy rain day and night, the ground was a swamp. Two months we waited for food, weak with hunger, ribs collapsed in. It seemed like a whole year.”
