The Sudanese boys’ story shows us how courageous and creative they had to be just to survive with almost nothing but each other for support. That’s why a little help from us, like a CROP Hunger Walk, can make a really big difference. Care to WALK with me?

DAY ONE Learn more about the "Lost Boys of Sudan" at http://www.churchworldservice.org/betterworld2/lost-boys.html

DAY TWO With your parents prepare a common African dish to eat. See recipes on our website: http://www.churchworldservice.org/betterworld2/globalsnacks.html

DAY THREE Find out when your community has a CROP Hunger Walk, mark the date on your calendar, and get your family to participate.

DAY FOUR Imagine how it would feel to walk 1000 miles to safety. How many steps is it just from your bed to get a drink of water? Give 10 cents for each step

DAY FIVE Draw around your foot or step in poster paint and print your foot on paper. When it is dry, write a “thank you” note around the edge of your footprint to your teacher, thanking him/her for what you learned about building a better world.

DAY SIX One of the hardest struggles for people who move to the USA is learning English. Learn to count to ten in another language.

DAY SEVEN People all over the world daily walk miles for firewood and water. Count the number of steps you take from your house to the car. Give 15 cents for each step.
