Hello Cynthia,
Enjoyed reading your blog of your time with Gabriel in Sudan – and overwhelmed with the difficulties of life there. We at Kids to Kids International continue to receive books and supplies from American school children hoping we can send them to Sudan – never were able to send what we have through Books for Africa, as we had hoped. Is there any way we can connect through travelers connected with Hope for Ariang?

Hi Corinne, I am so sorry I am not sure if I ever saw this comment. Unfortunately it is very hard to send anything to South Sudan,. There are no transport, postal services or ports near by. The best way for us to get supplies to the kids to raise the money and have Gabriel make the purchases there when he goes., That way the items are culturally correct and able to be transported into the village. We are so appreciative of your thoughts and if there is anyway to make any donations of funds we would be so greatly appreciative. Thanks for keeping us in mind! Cynthia

Dear Cynthia,
I am afraid that the extra funds are just not possible. Our membership fees barely cover our expenses, and the program really is meant to connect American children to children around the world with messages of friendship and hope through pictures, postcards, and picture books. Gabriel and the work of his foundation is so inspiring , so if the opportunity ever arose where we could work together, it would be wonderful!

I understand. Perhaps Gabriel can bring some notes with him when he returns in December. When I went I brought pinwheels of peace made by kids in CT . It was amazing for them to reach the other side of the world. Let’s stay in touch for sure. ! Also, there may be a way for the school children to participate in my project Canvas Peace Project. Take a look at the website at http://www.canvaspeaceproject.org
