There is a fatal discrimination against people with albinism (albinos) in many parts of Africa. Since 2007, Tanzania has had 69 documented attacks, with only 10 survivors. Here are a few stories about heroic survivors, and Under The Same Sun’s advocacy efforts in Tanzania.
As we go about our day it is often hard for us to think what it would be like to live 24/7 in fear of our lives. One of our very own, Paul Ash from Southlands Community Church, is becoming all too familiar with the plight of Albinos in Africa.
Please read the article below that was in today’s Winnipeg Free Press and join in prayer for Paul and his brother Peter as they continue to fulfill this ministry of peace for the over 200,000 people with Albinism in Tanzania alone. If you’re free Saturday night, why not attend the 60’s Dance at Southlands and partner with Under the Sun financially to continue this valuable ministry?
A Winnipeg businessman is trying to save fellow albinos in Africa from superstition and slaughter.
“It strikes me very personally,” said Paul Ash on Monday. Ash’s brother, Peter, in Surrey. B.C., founded a registered charity to help Tanzanians with albinism who’ve been shunned and even murdered for their lack of skin pigment.
