Lost and found

We were privileged to have a presentation at work this week from a refugee from Sudan, whose story is much like those of the Lost Boys of Sudan.  He was joined by a very well-informed and engaging rescue committee member and by Jonah, the founder of Darfurwall.org

Here is some more information on that project:

Four hundred thousand numbers cover the The Darfur Wall. Each represents a victim of genocide in Darfur, Sudan. By donating $1 or more, you can turn a number from dark gray to brilliant white and honor one lost life. The Darfur Wall has raised over $50,000 from donors in 30 countries. 100% of the proceeds benefit four Darfur relief organizations: Doctors Without Borders, Save Darfur, Save the Children, and the Sudan Aid Fund.
