It cost $15,000 to build a well for a small village in Sudan.
This year we have set a goal to raise $15,000, as a school and church community, to build a well in Sudan. Find out how you can help the school and church community raise money to support this import cause!
Click here for detailed information from Father Jamie's Chapel Talk last week about how we can support Water for Sudan as we reflect this year on the book our University Campus read this summer, A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park. (If you have any trouble viewing, try downloading the video to your device first).
Students on the University and Japonica Campuses are encouraged to bring in change throughout the year to fill water jugs that we will have available at chapel, around the lower campus, and at student services.
Wednesday, September 29, via video conference, we will have an opportunity to hear from Salva Dut, one of the lost boys of Sudan and founder of Water for Sudan.
Thank you for helping us work towards this goal this year!
