Africa is not immune to the turmoil experienced around the world, yet it is forgotten by many. The Sudan Project seeks to bring light not just to the struggles of poverty and war there, but to the people of Darfur, Sudan. The topic is as fresh as today's headlines, and it is a significant work to stir the conscience of an awakening America. The book focuses on the plight of the people in Darfur, and the hope that they have through the help we can provide.
The Sudan Project is an engaging, informational book which helps educate young people about the life of displaced persons in the Darfur Region of Sudan, Africa. Through rhymes, factual snippets, and captivating photos, the plight of these people is sensitively approached. Interest in the culture of Darfur is further stimulated by a section of home study unit activities, complete with a lesson plan and suggested additional resources.
This is more than a book about the people in the Sudan, however. It is about ordinary people and the fact that everyone can make a difference in this world. With the purchase of this book, you are making a difference. A portion of the profits are contributed to The Sudan Project fund at Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City, Ohio, in conjunction with the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).
