We are putting together a walk to raise awareness for Community Development in Southern Sudan.
"Walk Sudan is a community-driven, volunteer-owned movement dedicated to promoting community development in Southern Sudan and helping the Lost Boys return home. We're organizing walks in Peoria, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Fargo. Pledge Your Feet and help us build a library in Panyijiar County, Southern Sudan. This war-torn region needs our help and, through our grass-roots campaign, we can make this region a better place to live!
All proceeds will go directly to Endless Eye and PACODES, two non-profits committed to community development in Panyijiar County. The funds will be used to build a library this fall and to finance a documentary film intended to raise awareness to the lacking infrastructure in Southern Sudan (and, in turn, help us raise funds to further the awareness for community development in Southern Sudan).

It's easy to get involved...we're only asking that you raise $40 and pledge your feet on June 8th...come walk with us from North Avenue Beach to Hutcheson field in Grant Park. This symbolic walk will represent the tragic trek the Lost Boys made, as children, to escape the violence in Southern Sudan during the Civil War. 27,000 children left their homes and families to survive...after a thousand mile journey, only 13,000 children made it to refugee camps in Kenya. We're working to help create a community and help the Lost Boys go home!
If you want to volunteer or walk contact: info@endlesseye.org
They Walked to Survive...We Walk for Them!"
