Today in human geography we continued to watch the inspiring video, God Grew Tired Of Us. I realize now that I judged the title wrongly. When I first heard the title I thought of people who had suffered majorly and lost their faith in God forever. But I realize now that God is more important to them now, than before the  war even happened. John Bul Dau felt like at the time that God had grew tired of his people and forgot about them, but now he has an even stronger faith than before. In the video John saved up enough money to bring his mother to America to meet her. John was made secretary of the Lost Boys organization, and he opened a medical hospital in his homeland. Panther opened a school in his homeland and graduated school and he found his brother. Daniel sadly did not find any of his family but is still taking school classes and working. Over all the video was inspiring and I think we should raise awareness of the crimes in Sudan by having fundraisers or having John himself come and speak to us. We could also use the money from the fundraisers to make gel bracelets saying something like " Sudan-the war ends now" or something like that. Each kid at John Carroll could be given at least 3 and he/she could give them to their friends and family members.
