The 100 Wells Campaign

Vashon Island Community Church (VICC) Youth Group is having fundraisers throughout the year to help Persecution Project- www.persecutionproject.org build a well in Darfur. Persecution Project (PPF) began the 100 Wells Campaign in 2004 to rally support from compassionate individuals in America to help the refugees of Darfur, Sudan, get necessary life sustaining water. www.100wellscampaign.com To date PPF has raised enough funds to build 74 wells, but have 26 wells to go. VICC Youth Group wants to help them build one more well. Each well costs $15,000. It is this costly because of the location these wells are being dug. Sudan is in severe drought and many non Islamic ethnic and religious people groups are facing terrible treatment from their government. It is a genocide of mass proportions, and more have died than in the Rwandan genocide.

There is really no help from the United Nations or the American government for these people. Our current fundraisers are: Silver4water raffle-$2 per ticket-we will be selling these outside of Thriftway on Dec. 11, and Dec. 18 (both Sundays) from 3:00pm to 6:00pm. Winner of raffle receives 10 American Eagle 99.9% silver coins. Drawing is Tuesday Dec. 20th at 7:30pm.

We will also be selling homemade candles for $5 each.

Coffee4water- AJ’s coffee stand is donating 20% of her profits from every 40 for 50 coffee card she sells in the month of December. Help Sudan while you enjoy your favorite cup of coffee and buy a $40 coffee card and receive $50 worth of coffee,
