Mick Ebling's "Not Impossible Labs" has been developed to diagnose, design, and provide 3D printing of prosthetic arms for children of war-torn Sudan. This project shows beauty from many angles: obviously, Daniel and others are provided working arm replacements. And, a campaign was designed to inform, inspire, and utilize corporate sponsorships. This kind of collaboration between technology, consumers and sponsorships can be accomplished by almost any organization that wants to create a campaign that puts someone on the ground to make a difference.
One of my friends is part of the Lost Boys Center for Leadership Development for South Sudan. He has told me stories of how this land has been hit hard, and over 3M people have died. He mentioned that the regime from the north will enter communities and cut off limbs to disable young boys who were to grow up and be part of the resistance to the regime. Women would be beaten and raped, and would have their breasts removed, to make them not want to come back and fight against the north. In 2011, South Sudan officially became it's own country, separated from the regime of the north. Unfortunately, as an independent country trying to establish itself, there is civil war in the South as they determine who will be their leader.
In the midst of all this, it's wonderful to see the work of people like Mick Ebling in helping the children of war-torn South Sudan; it's a bright light that reaches into a community and helps multiple people. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of projects going on in South Sudan to help restore the area. See Lost Boys Center for Leadership Development for more. A new major motion picture will be released in September, 2014!
