"God Grew Tired of Us" 3

Today we finished the documentary "God Grew Tired of Us". During the last 30 or so minutes, the lost boys have been in America for about 3 years. The boys are now fully accustomed to American life, and know how to function in society. They find themselves remembering many traumatic events during their childhood, as a result of PTSD ( or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). During Independence Day in the United States, the fireworks and the loud noises reminded them of the war in Sudan. A little later, the UN is able to locate Panthers mother in one of their refugee camps. Panther sends his mother money so she can take a flight to America to see her son. It was very emotional to see Panther and his mother reunite after being apart for 17 years. Also, the lost boys come together at a family reunion so they can talk about issues with Sudan and what they can do to help. At the end of the video, it talks about what the boys are doing from this day forward. Panther wants to open a school in his village. He also marries a woman in his village and reunites with his brother. John is the founder of the John Dau Foundation, and he plans to build medical clinics in South Sudan. Daniel is beginning to go to collage, but has yet to meet or hear from any of his family members. After the movie, Mr. Schick wanted us to come up with a few ideas in which we could help the people suffering in Sudan. One of the ways we cold help is we could donate to the John Dau Foundation.

Another way we could help is to make a fundraiser to raise awareness about the war in Sudan. We could also send care packages to Sudan to give the homeless and the hungry some food and other materials. There are infinite ways in which we could help these people, and I hope that this madness in Sudan comes to an end in the nearby future.
