Thanks for taking the time to visit my Page. I really appreciate this.
Education is important to all. A child without education is a child without a future.
I am supporting the Emmanuel Jal Foundation whose aim is to help the hundreds of child-soldiers and local children residing in his home village who have no school to go to. Many of the children have just one small meal a day so I am joining Emmanuel Jal who, since December 08, has also eaten just one meal a day to raise awareness of this cause. Until we raise the $140,000 needed to build his school I am foregoing lunch, whatever the occasion, social, corporate, etc.All I ask is that the money that would normally be spent on my food is donated to this Justgiving Page.
Together we can improve the lives of so many children who currently have little to look forward to.
GUA Africa was founded by Emmanuel Jal, an ex-child soldier turned to be Rap artist, International speaker for peace. The word GUA (pronounced gwaah) means peace in Nuer, a tribal language of Southern Sudan.
Our mission is to work with individuals, families and communities to help them overcome the effects of war and poverty. Each of our projects focus on providing an education to children and young adults who would otherwise be denied such an opportunity.In April 2008 we were granted full UK charity status and our sister organization, Gua Africa US, received official non-profit status in May 2009.
