Samaritan's Purse: Sudan and South Sudan

      South Sudan recently declared it's independence from Sudan and that they are on the brink of war. In fact, Sudan's President, Omar al-Bashir, has threatened to topple the government of South Sudan. Sudan's Air Force bombers often pass over South Sudan, not dropping any bombs, but just warning the people of South Sudan. There is nothing that the people can do to stop them. The President of South Sudan, President Kiir, is trying to avoid war to the best of his ability.
      The people in Sudan are not any better off than the people of South Sudan. Their villages are being destroyed, and nearly everywhere there are hastily dug graves. A lot of the people were hiding among rocks and caves, eating whatever they can to survive. These meals often include insects, grub worms, tree bark, and roots. Most of the children are weak with distended bellies and reddish hair from severe malnutrition. Can you imagine being so sick that it affects the color of your hair?
      Samaritan's Purse has been providing emergency relief for refugees who have fled to two camps in South Sudan, feed 120,000 people and provide life-saving therepeutic nutrition for malnourished infants and young children. They also assist in furnishing medical care, clean water, sanitation, shelters, and other aid.
    T and I have decided to raise money and awareness about the people suffering in Sudan and South Sudan. We understand that the more money we raise, the more lives we save and possibly change forever.

If you look to your right, you'll see a box that shows our goal and how much we've made.
