Some History
From 1983-2005, the world turned its head and closed it's eyes to the obscenities and genocide carried out during the Civil war between the North and South in Sudan. The Janjaweed, a group of Arab militia, were employed by the Sudanese government to kill civilians of all ages, burn down their houses, destroy crops and livestock, carry out mass executions, target vital infrastructure, and commit wide-scale rape. By the time they were done, over 2 million people were killed.
27,000 thousand orphaned children showed the world what the human spirit is made of. They showed us that although it may be stomped on, it's hard to extinguish. Life is hard to give up, even when the horror of it haunts you.
Along a trail of tears, children of all ages ran from their burned out villages in fear, the brutal deaths of their parents permanently stamped into their memories forever. For months they marched on, a bedraggled sea of children, surviving lion attacks and the snapping jaws of alligators. Yet they mustered on, always choosing LIFE!
Exhausted and hungry, they filled their starving belly's with mud in order to stop the pain. They crawled, they carried one another and they dyed. Sticking together, the older ones looked after the younger ones, always with one goal in mind, to make it to the refugee camps of Ethiopia and Kenya.
These children became known to the World as "The Lost Boys of the Sudan."
Jacob Atem is one of the Lost Boys of the Sudan. Jacob was six years old when the army came to his village and violently murdered his parents, burned his home, his village to the ground and left him with standing with nothing.
Jacob's older cousin Michael found him and together they ran away and joined the stream of children fleeing the atrocities. Eventually they ended up living in both the Ethiopian and Kenyan Refugee Camps, until in 2001, he and his cousin were among 4000 lucky children who were chosen to be adopted out to families throughout the United States.
The Mission was a success. Today, Jacob is finishing up his Masters of Public Health degree program at Michigan State University, and his cousin Michael, who became a Marine, is on active duty in Iraq, serving his second tour.
The Southern Sudan Health Care Centre, (SSHC) is the vision and brainchild of Jacob Atem, who wants to bring something positive and vital back to his land of birth, specifically to the Village of Maar, the home he was forced to leave during the genocide of his country.
The Village of Maar, stands between Bor South and Bor North in the Sudan and it's very isolation is what makes it difficult to get help to those who usually need immediate medical such as pregnant women, children, and the elderly. Once built, this center will bring vital healthcare and education to this war weary village whose inhabitants must now walk for two or three days on foot, to get medical aid, even during an emergency. As you can imagine, most don't make it.
I won't pretend to have all the "How" answers, but I do believe that the Universe has brought us together, you and me, right now in this time, in this place, in this space, to be the solution that helps Jacob rebuild his community and build the Health Care Facility.
We have an opportunity to bring to life one man's vision for a Safer Sudan and forever change the lives in a positive way, of those who live there. We can create a future for a people who are desperate for emotional, physical, and spiritual respite.
The time for ACTION is NOW!
I believe that together, with some creativity on our part, we can find an elegant solution to raising the necessary funding that will pay for building and running the Southern Sudan Health Care Centre. Jacob's vision and his goal is to break ground by September 2009 and make his Southern Sudan Health Care Centre a reality. His needs are $250,000.00 US dollars.
Like I said, I don't have all the "How's" yet, but let me throw this idea out to start the ball rolling.
$250,000.00 is not that much money. What if we created an online Internet Event, where each of donates 1 dollar or more from the sales of our respective books?
Not the best idea? Ok...well lets get an idea bank started!
I know that with your help, we can easily raise $250,000 and bring this project to life. What do you say? Are you in? Will you take on this Mission Unstoppable!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
With Love,
