hello everyone.

i'm writing because i've just received some recent news regarding the street boys in sudan that i lived with last year, as some of you know.

there were many complications at the children's center, most of which revolved around lack of funding and staff. i had to leave the country because my visa expired and the staff agreed to close the center. however, several boys with tough family situations, or no family at all, have continued to live on the center with little or no care. the oldest boy, luka, is 18 and has acted as the sole caretaker for the 10 or so younger boys.

two days ago, luka emailed in broken english that the boys are in need of money. some are trying to enroll in school again which also costs money. many days they don't have anything to eat. also, he wrote to say that priscilla, the boy's pastor and my best friend while in sudan, has been fighting malaria and she doesn't have money for medicine. at the bottom of this posting is luka's email to the old director of the center, who is not able to get back into the country.

i have been saving money since i returned to send to some of the old staff members, luka, and the boys. i'm very worried about my brothers in sudan. i don't know what will happen to the center, but i have to do something. i have a lot of trustworthy european and american contacts in sudan who i will be sending the money to.

i don't know what else to do but to contact everyone i know to ask for help. please help me. i will be wiring the money in one week to a western union that my friend will receive and help distribute accordingly.
