Sudan Genocide Foundation

Earlier this school year, English students after reading the book Night collaborated in making a wiki that looked at the different genocides that have occurred throughout the last two centuries. One of those genocides was the first Sudanese genocide.

One of the books that really made me interested in learning more about this genocide was the novel What is the What by Dave Eggers. This part-fictional, part-true novel chronicles the escape of Valentino Achak Deng, one of thousands of Lost Boys, who fled his homeland out of fear of being murdered.

Adriana excellently described the book in her review on the wiki.

Anyway, to my main point. Deng went back to Sudan and is building schools. And you, or your parents, can help. Check it out.
