According to his dad, George Clooney has always had heart, cared about people.
Sudan has become his life mission, says Ann Curry. First, to Darfur. Now to South Sudan.
They went from Juba to Malakal, where there has already been attacks by the north. They took a boat to a village where people had fled for refuge. John Prendergast is with them. He meets the elders, as well. The people hope that a new Southern government will protect them. They will vote for separation.
Will the U.S. and other countries come to the rescue?
Now they are flying to Marial Bai! That is where my friend, Fran Boyle's ministry works in Sudan. They are meeting with Valentino Deng, the former Lost Boy from Marial Bai. He tells of the attack on his village when the people were killed. Valentino was nine when this happened and he fled as did the tens of thousands of other children.
Wrote "What is the What" with Dave Eggars. And used the royalties to build schools, including a school for girls. George Clooney is impressed by the students hunger for education.
Fran's ministry in Marial Bai focuses on the orphans and others who have been redeemed, returned from slavery.
