In 2001 I hired some Sudanese 'lost boys' who came to the U.S. through the U.N. Upon learning that one boy was trying to earn enough money to buy his mom back from slavery I was inspired to write the song 'Dark Rain'

(see video 'two worlds connect' on youtube).

Thank you for this video...it is great!

Why is Africa starving when they have such great weather? Why are we not sharing solar technology with Africa?

Why does it matter that it is Africa? I think the main point is that this is happening right NOW while you read this people continue to kill, rape and pillage.

rich people are getting richer from this kind of suffering! fuck the elite, power direct to the people.
