John Dau Foundation enters America’s Giving Challenge
October 21, 2009 by Editor
The John Dau Foundation is fulfilling the dream of Lost Boy and genocide survivor John Dau to provide healthcare in the war-torn region of South Sudan by building and sustaining medical clinics and training community health workers.
The mission of the foundation is to build and sustain healthcare facilities in Southern Sudan that will provide basic medical services.
Their cause just entered in America’s Giving Challenge, which gives them a chance to win $50,000!
Please donate today: https://www.causes.com/fb/donations/new?ts=1256124095&cause_id=45041
To win, between now and November 7th we have to get the most donations to our cause (every person can donate once per day and have it count as a unique donation). We can also win daily awards of $1,000 and $500 if we can get the most people to donate in any 24-hour period. The great thing about this Challenge is that it doesn’t matter how much you give, but instead how much you do to encourage friends and family to get involved in our cause. We all need to come together and start promoting the cause if we want to win.
Each of us has tons of friends on Facebook – John Dau Foundation on FB Read more
