To coincide with Anti Poverty Week, the Brotherhood of St Laurence will be showcasing an extraordinary film called Lost Boys of Sudan. There is an African inspired theme to the evening, with pre movie drinks, delicious African food and live African music to enjoy before we adjourn to the theatre.
I'm definitely going.
Ever since Deb gave me What is the What By Dave Eggers, I'm trying to learn and do more about the humanitarian emergency that's taking place in Sudan. Quite a few Sudanese refugees live in Melbourne. So you don't have to be pulling a George Clooney to make a difference. We can help and support Sudanese refugees in our own community. The book is a great bio-epic of Lost Boy, Valentino Achak Deng. I'm half way through it but happy to play librarian to any The Body Shop people interested in reading it after me.
