Sister Schools Program Profiled on ESPN

The ESPN feature is first major television segment focused on the
Darfur Dream Team's Sister Schools Program. The piece will re-air on
this morning's Sports Center.

The Darfur Dream Team is a dynamic partnership of organizations and
professional basketball players working together on the Sister Schools
Program, an initiative to connect American middle schools, high
schools, colleges, and universities with sister schools in the 12
refugee camps in Chad. The idea for the program was hatched during
McGrady's trip to Darfuri refugee camps in eastern Chad with Enough's
Prendergast and Ismail, during which he witnessed firsthand the
deplorable state of life in refugee camps and heard the refugees' grave stories.

As part of the Sister Schools Program, U.S. schools are raising
funds to improve the education of their Darfuri peers through the
construction and rehabilitation of school buildings as well as by
providing teacher training, sports equipment, and other school
supplies. The program also aims to foster cross-cultural relationships
between American students and Darfuri refugee students through letter
exchanges and video blogging, with the goal of creating a stable
educational environment in the camps so that Darfuri students develop
the skills to one day return home and build a stronger, more peaceful
Sudan.
