Ajak Bul Ajak knows the suffering that children in Sudan face each day. In 1987, soldiers attacked Bor, his village on the banks of the Mountain Nile River in southern Sudan.
“People just scattered. I left my family behind because I just ran,” said Ajak (pronounced
Ah-
“There was no food, you don’t have your family, it was terrible. I was just a little kid, I didn’t know what was happening,” he said.
Then just 5 years old, Ajak was orphaned by the civil war that tore apart his country. He became one of an estimated 25,000 war orphans labeled “The Lost Boys of Sudan.”
For the next 13 years Ajak tried to escape the violence, making his way to Ethiopia, back to Sudan and then to Kenya.
We anticipate another trip to Southern Sudan in January of 2010 in order to distribute donations to relieve immediate needs. On behalf of the New Sudan Hope Foundation (NSHF), we would like to thank you for your gift. We are committed to helping the families of Southern Sudan rebuild their lives .... <More>

Life Outreach International is partnering with Bridges of Compassion and New Sudan Hope Foundation to supply 200 pair of shoes to children who have no shoes in Lith Payam, South Sudan. As you may know, many children in South Sudan are dying simply because they have contracted a deadly disease through open cuts on their bare feet. Because they have no shoes, their feet remain vulnerable to these infections over and over again.
Bridges of Compassion has obtained 200 pair of durable sandals made of recycled plastics and has donated them to New Sudan Hope Foundation for distribution in Lith Payam, South Sudan. We can hardly wait to see the looks on their precious faces as they put on their first pair of shoes.
If you would like to donate for postage for the shipment of any amount, your donation is tax exempt.
Life Outreach has had these sandals especially for third world nations and carries the name LIFE on each sandal. You can be a part of giving LIFE to these little ones!
