How to help the Lost Boys of the Sudan
In response to Sunday's 60 Minutes story "The Lost Boys"-- about a group of refugees from the Sudan who are now trying to make their way in the United States -- many viewers have asked how they can help the young men in our piece, and some of you have asked how they can help other Lost Boys and refugees from the Sudan.
For those who want to help Joseph Taban Rufino -- the young man in the piece with the dream of attending medical school -- a fund has been set up on his behalf to help him travel to visit his mother: http://www.gofundme.com/help-joseph. 60 Minutes is not involved in this fundraising effort, but for more information you can contact Joey McLiney at mcliney3@gmail.com.
For those who want to help Bishop Abraham, they can contact Father Bob Hudson of St. Luke's Anglican Church of Maysville, Kentucky, at rwhtrinity@yahoo.com.
More generally, here are some organizations to help refugees from the Sudan:
Lost Boys Center for Leadership Development
Alliance for the Lost Boys of Sudan
Valentino Achak Deng Foundation
Lost Boys Rebuilding Southern Sudan
