UNF Honors Class Event! 
 UNF Honors Event!
It was a moving and memorable experience for 100 Honors Students at UNF. Bridges to Sudan along with other Non-Profits were on a Panel and spoke to the students to educate them on the Non-Profit world and information about Refugees here in Jacksonville. A big thank you to Dr. Leslie Kaplan and her Department for having us be a part of the panel and for allowing us to share information with all!  We have received much response and caring words and how helpful it has been to all the students.
Pumpkin Patch Party Halloween Pumpkin Patch
at Christ's Church Mandarin

10/29/2010 was another memorable night for the Sudanese children and some of their families.  Thanks to Liz Granite, Momma Chol and the Volunteers at Christ's Church Mandarin. This field trip was a wonderful way  for all to experience the Halloween Holiday.  There were bounce houses, good food, candy, and great fellowship for all. The parents  got to enjoy time to visit, eat special treats and enjoy the night as much as the children. It was a terrific time had by everyone!!
