Sacks of Hope are the good that is helping in the Sudan, Dan Patterson says
On location in the South Sudan, in a very isolated place called Majom Kor, Dan Patterson says that they unloaded the Sacks of Hope, and it strikes him how much those fifteen pound bags will do. If you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime, Dan says, but it doesn’t apply here because these people are coming back from someplace else that is even worse, and all of them need help and assistance. Right now, he says, the Sacks of Hope are the good that is being done and helping these people. (1:17)
