Sons of Lwala Film Update

Sons of LwalaThe Sons of Lwala film site is now up and running.  The film represents just one story of many in which Blood:Water Mission has supported.

The film follows the story of two brothers from Kenya whose village sent them to America to become doctors.  But after losing both parents to AIDS they are left with a heartbreaking task: to return home and finish the health clinic their father started before getting sick. Unable to raise enough money on their own, the brothers are joined by students, politicians, and a rock band who launch a fund raising drive among young people across the United States.  Sons of Lwala follows Milton and Fred Ochieng on their incredible journey as they find a way, despite all odds, to open their village's first hospital.

Visit sonsoflwala.com to view the trailer and learn more about the film and how you can help.

We're trying to spread the word about Milton and Fred's documentary to as many people as possible. That's why we designed a special media player to embed into your web page. It streams the trailer from our site to yours without taking up any of your space. If you'd like, you can just copy the code below and paste it into your own page. Works like a charm with MySpace!
