Sudan Comes to Your Door Step

May 5th, 2009 by Taylor

The migration of Darfuri Sudanese continues to grow. Most of you are likely aware of the conflict that has been on going in Darfur (West Sudan), ever since peace was made in the South of Sudan.

The Dallas Morning News posted an article recently about a small but growing number of official Darfuri refugees in Dallas. While their numbers are no where near that of the ‘Lost Boys’ (mostly from the Dinka tribe) their stories are nearly identical.

If you are interesting in getting involved in some way, no matter how little or how much, you can contact my good friend Kyle Jenkins (a graduate of Lake Highlands and married a childhood friend of mine, Melissa Johnson) who has been working with the refugees in Dallas for many years. He has also gotten involved in the underground sex trafficking that goes on in Dallas. You can reach him at Skylejenkins@aol.com or call him >>>>>>>>>>>>>. He maintains an office in the Vickery Meadows area (mentioned in the article) which is roughly the Northeast corner of Central/75 and NorthWest hwy and comprises around 30 different apartment complexes.
