Cairo: One Child at a Time



What can you do when there are thousands and thousands of Sudanese refugee children in great need? "I'm just one person," we all say. "The need is too great." "What skills do I have?" Or God forbid that we do not even acknowledge the problem and just turn and look the other way.

These are some of the 2,000 Sudanese children that WERE helped during a recent medical and spiritual outreach in Cairo, Egypt. If you would like to see more of their portraits please go to www.garyschapman.com/portraits. Or, for a multimedia piece, please go to www.garyschapman.com/children.mov.
