“Many outsiders looked at the refugees in Kakuma and
took pity on us for how little we had. Others, including
some of the Turkana, looked at us with jealousy for how
much we had,” (Bul Dau, page 145)

24. Works Cited
• “About FreeRice.” FreeRice. United Nations World Food Programme, n.d. Web. 22 Oct. 2010. <http://www.freerice.com/about>. FreeRice is a nonprofit website that aims to
provide free education for everyone and to end world hunger. The United Nations World Food Programme and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard
University collaborated to form this organization. I verified this information by going to both the United Nations World Food Programme and the Berkman Center for Internet
& Society’s websites. Both of the websites confirmed that they sponsored Freerice.com. BBC News published an article about the successes of FreeRice. This organization
helped me understand more about genocide because it shows how people have been affected. Many citizens of Sudan are starving, and freerice.com helps resolve this issue.
• "About the Darfur Dream Team." Darfur Dream Team's Sister School Program. USA for UNHCR, n.d. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. <http://www.darfurdreamteam.org/content/about-
darfur-dream-team>. The Darfur Dream Team links schools in the refugee camps to American high schools, middle schools, colleges, and universities. The two main objectives
of the organization are to promote an understanding between Darfur and American students and to provide all refugee children from Darfur with a good education. I
evaluated the website by checking other sources to see what they said about it. After looking at several websites, such as the Enough Project and Education Partnership for
Children of Conflict, I concluded that the Darfur Dream Team is a great organization. One reason I think this is because according to the Enough Project, the organization
raised $600,000 for twelve schools. The Darfur Dream Team's website taught me that just communicating with the people from Sudan can help them. I also learned that with
our help, Sudan can overcome genocide using today's children.
• Dau, John Bul, and Michael S. Sweeney. Introduction. God Grew Tired of Us. By Dau and Sweeney. 2007. Washington, D.C.: National Geographic Society, 2008. 2-7. Print. The
key information from this source pertained to what it was like to be a victim to genocide, and the way it sounded, looked and felt. I knew that this was a reliable source
because of the fact that it came from the non-fiction book that we were assigned to read in class. I also knew that both the author and the publisher were both very credible.
This source gave me a sense of just how horrific it was to be in the midst of the Sudanese genocide. I got a very good picture in my head of these senseless and completely
random killings that were committed to so many innocent Sudanese during the late 20th and early 21st century.
• Eggers, Dave, and John Pendergrast. “In Sudan, War Is around the Corner.” New York Times 13 July 2010: n. pag. Global Issues in Context. Web. 22 Oct. 2010.
<http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&contentSet=IAC-
Documents&idigest=b527955b5caccdb4b4a2d40e86fe061a&type=retrieve&tabID=T006&prodId=GIC&docId=A231384030&source=gale&userGroupName=cant48040&version
=1.0>. The basic information that I used from this site pertained to the time period of the war and the reason for the conflict. I found out that the war took place from 1983 to
2005 and was between the SPLA and Sudan’s government. No evaluation of the source was needed because I found it using Gale Global Issues in Context. I did, however,
confirm that the article was, in fact, from the New York Times published on July 13, 2010. From reading this article, I confirmed the exact years that the war in Sudan started
and ended in Sudan, because it was not 100% clear in the book. I also found out just how violent the war was. I thought that it was kind of a small conflict, but it was described
as “one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century.”

Print. The information included in this timeline pertained to the history of the area that is today known as Sudan, from its mention in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible,
when it is referred to as Kush, all the way to 2005 when the permanent cease-fire in Sudan commences and John Garang is elected president. I used this source because I
knew I needed to know the exact dates and causes of Sudan’s civil war. I knew that this would be a reliable source because of the fact that it is in the non-fiction book that we
were assigned to read in class. I knew that it would be accurate for this reason. This enhanced my learning because I learned the exact causes and dates of the civil war in
Sudan, as well as some key events during and leading up to the war. I was also able to identify the key figures and places in the war.
• Women for Women International. Women for Women International, n.d. Web. 24 Oct. 2010. <http://www.womenforwomen.org/global-initiatives-helping-women/help-
women-sudan.php>. Women for Women International, based in southern Sudan, aims to provide Sudanese women with resources so that they may build up their life. The
program teaches skills that women can pass on to their children so future generations will be more educated. I evaluated the information on the website by researching the
name of the charity on Google. The organization was put on Charity Navigators’ “Highly Rated” list, with three out of four stars. Charity Navigators has a financial expenses
section, and it shows that Women for Women International is a largely successful organization. The information on the website for Women to Women International educated
me on the ways that we can help Sudanese women. It also informed me that just helping one person could make a huge difference in the entire country.
