Local students help Sudan

Did you know that students from our own Walnut Springs Middle School are hosting a community Walk-a-Thon today? It’ll benefit a health clinic in Piol, Sudan. This health clinic was created by Jok Dau and Bol Aweng, two Lost Boys of Sudan, who have recently graduated from OSU. They currently live in Columbus, but still want to help the people of their hometown by providing vaccines for children there.

Though the Walk-a-Thon began at 8 a.m. this morning, community members can still donate online at www.sudanclinic.org. 100% of donations will benefit the clinic and are tax-deductible.

Isn’t it awesome to live in a place where people help each other?! Learn more about Sudan here, and more about local volunteer opportunities for teens here!
