2000 Dishonesty does you no good, and telling lies will get you in trouble. The situation in the Blue Nile region of South Sudan is horrendous for children.
Land mines are a constant danger.
There are schools and churches being rebuilt in the area, but they have no books or supplies. The children do their exercises by writing in the dirt with their fingers and children play soccer using rats as a ball. The students of Kentview Elementary School, Kent, Wash., donated soccer balls and then wrote individual letters to the children of the Blue Nile. Many of these children attached their own photographs to their personal letters. The Blue Nile Project also provides the only available land-mine detectors in the region, since the United Nations prohibits aid agencies from taking these desperately needed items into the Blue Nile.
