I just googled the title and found that there will be a movie coming soon, a documentary. It looks good…plus there will be great U2 music in it!

Here is the link to the trailer:

Thanks for your great post about John Dau’s book. I have been very fortunate to be able to work with John helping him raise money for the clinic he is building in Sudan. He is a great role model for all children, but particulary for those of us with African children.

While my own son is to young to read the book (he is about to be 5 and from Ethiopia) we have blessed to have John become part of his life.

John works with me at Direct Change, which was created to help funds African based projects. You can read more about John’s work at http://www.directchange.org/sudan . Direct Change provides online fundraiasing tools to volunteer supporters and has recently expanded to raise money for groups working in Ethiopia including AHope and AAI’s Nazret program.

Related to that same topic is Dave Eggers’ “What is the What?” – an excellent and unforgettable book. It’s a fictionalized account of the true story of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, Valentino Achak Deng.
