Water Is Life!

Wakou Australian Aid Association Inc is fundraising for the people of South Sudan where clean, safe water is in very short supply.
One of our parishioners - Andrew Atak-Deng Yel - and his family and friends are trying hard to help the people of the village where he was born and where his extended family still live.
They want to make clean, safe water a reality in the village of Nyinameth.
The next fundraising event is  the film 'Africa United.'
 
 
Africa United tells the extraordinary story of three Rwandan children and their bid to achieve their ultimate dream - to take part in the opening ceremony of the 2010 Football World Cup in Johannesburg.
On the way to the vital selection trial, disaster strikes when Fabrice, Dudu and Beatrice board the wrong bus and cross into the Congo. Without papers, money or a believable story, they are escorted to a children's refugee camp. But with considerable ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized heroes escape the camp and set off in pursuit of their dream, picking up along the way a "dream team" of displaced kids, who help them negotiate a series of thrilling and hilarious adventures.
During their 3000 mile journey, we encounter an Africa few people in the West ever see; experience an epic adventure across seven countries; and feel the joy, laughter and hope that comes from making an incredible journey together.

See you there..............!!  Where?
