Modern Art, Modern Africa

This picture is an artist's representation of the tragic journey that Salva and his band of Lost Boys went on, in order to reach the refuge camps in Kenya. The terrors are apparent within the canvas, through the likeness of the blazing hot sun, the cloudless sky, and the fearsome alligator nearby the route of travel. The alligator is extremely important, because at one point in the story Salva is forced to either swim across a river of alligators, or be shot in the face by evil soldiers. This post is here to remind us all, when we all travel through Africa at some point within our lives, that alligators are a-plenty, and alligators are unforgiving.

ANIMOTO ALL ACROSS AFRICA

http://animoto.com/play/jwJMZl44xgJx1q00vygreg

This animoto is all about Salva Dut and his magnificent journey to bring water to all of Sudan. Look into the deeper messages portrayed by the crude representation of cinema. Go donate 10 bucks or something, that'll serve a village in sudan for months. Yay Charity!!!!
