End of the video

Well, we finished the video today! It was really heartwarming at the end, when John goes to the airport and meets his mom and sister for the first time in 17 years! It was really cool, and a bit funny to see John's mom doing a traditional dance to celebrate happiness. She was shrieking! John isn’t sure if his mom is there to live, or there for a visit, but either way he is happy, and so are his mom and his sister, and I was close to tears, because it was amazing to watch John grow from a lost boy in Sudan Africa, to a community leader in Syracuse NY, have brought his family to the states, and has earned his bachelor’s degree. As for Panther and Daniel, their situations are a bit different. Panther discovered that he has family, so he decides to return to Africa to set up school there for the children as he has also gotten his bachelor’s degree. Daniel has not found any family members, and has been in the US for 3 years now. He will not give up though, he realizes there is a chance that there are none of his family members left, but there is as good a chance that there are.

 MY IDEA; My idea is that right around Christmas time, where we (as Americans) celebrate God/ Christ, but also the spirit of St. Nick and receiving presents. As we learned in the video, in Sudan they don’t give presents and they don’t celebrate St. Nick.  I think around Christmas time, we should sent over care packages including medicine needs (ACE bandages, pain relievers, and some games (cards ect.) this way we would be showing them some of how our Christmas is, and still respecting their traditions.
