Phi Theta Kappa Members Walk for Sudan

The plight of the 27,000 "Lost Boys" of Sudan, and the ongoing devastation in the war-ravaged country, inspired an Illinois Phi Theta Kappa member to make a difference, with the help of Better World Books.

Matt Hoffman and his fellow Phi Theta Kappa members at Illinois Central College have created Walk Sudan, to raise awareness and funds for the region that has been devastated by 20 years of civil war and ethnic conflict.

The chapter members will contribute their earnings from their campus Better World Books drive to help build a library, and are also working with Better World Books and Books for Africa to send books to Sudan.

Better World Books will be using money from their newly created BWB fund in addition to money generated by Walk Sudan to help cover the cost of shipping books to Sudan.

"I've been fortunate to witness the generosity, passion, and perseverance exhibited by Phi Theta Kappa members and I know that, with a little effort, we can help rebuild southern Sudan and become part of something bigger than ourselves,' said Hoffman.
