Project Love targets Sudan

The Canadian Organization for Development through Education (CODE), the John Dau Foundation, and the International Book Bank have collaborated, with the support of the International Reading Association, in a new program called ProjectLoveSudan to send much-needed school supplies to the South Sudan in Africa.

The South Sudan is recovering from a long civil war and is beginning to rebuild its medical and educational facilities. The John Dau Foundation, named after one of the Lost Boys of Sudan and the founder of this charitable organization, is participating in this rebuilding process in his home village in Duk County, South Sudan. Schools are being built and school supplies are in desperate need. School materials such as a student Project Love kit containing a notebook, a pencil, a ruler, and an eraser or a Teacher Kit would be much appreciated in a school that lacks even the basics in educational resources.

Project Love encourages teachers and others to participate in this worthwhile venture by registering their class, school, council, or community/youth organization. You can find further information at the project webpage.
