A Date with Dessert

Patricia and Peter Ladley and the justice and peace committee of First Presbyterian Church, 315 N.Cayuga Street, Ithaca NY invite you to hear and engage Gabriel Bol Deng, former refugee from South Sudan, and founder of Hope for Ariang (www.HopeForAriang.org) on Sunday October 21st, 2:30 – 4:30 PM. Gabriel will be in Ithaca to share his story as a refugee and his dream of providing primary education in his home village in South Sudan. In a country where more than half of school-age children are not in school, and where 73% of girls do not go to school, the Ariang Primary School stands out as a beacon of hope to over 600 boys and girls. Come and learn what is happening in Ariang and how we can respond to the needs of the students and sustain their hope for a better future.

Bring a dessert to share, and an open heart to help provide scholarships, particularly for the girls of Ariang. Brochures and other information will be provided and Gabriel will be present to answer questions you may have about Ariang and about South Sudan today.

A RSVP is helpful. For more information: ladley@earthlink.net.  Remember, you have a date with dessert! All are welcome.
