Thu, Jun 18th 2009, 10:49 McGrady Funds School Serving Darfuri Refugee Children McGrady基金會輔導Darfuri的難民孩子們上學 In honor of World Refugee Day, basketball star Tracy McGrady has made a donation to the Darfur Dream Team’s Sister Schools Program to support a Darfuri refugee camp school for one year. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR, will use McGrady’s generous donation to begin building and rehabilitating a school this fall serving Darfuri children living in a refugee camp in Chad. 為了記念「世界難民日」，籃球巨星 Tracy Mcgrady已經對Darfur逐夢團隊的Sister Schools Program提供捐款來資助Darfuri難民營學校一年了。聯合國難民署(簡稱UNHCR)也會用這些錢來蓋一所學校來讓住在Chad難民營的 Darfuri小孩們上學。 The U.N. World Refugee Day seeks to call attention to the plight of millions of refugees around the world with its theme, “Real People, Real Needs.” More than 250,000 people have been displaced by the ongoing conflict in Darfur, Sudan. Children make up more than 60 percent of the population in the Darfuri refugee camps and are facing major educational challenges, including a shortage of qualified teachers, poorly built school buildings, and lack of supplies. 聯合國在「世界難民日」以「Real People,Real Needs」為主題來吸引人們對全世界數以百萬計的難民的關注，蘇丹的Darfur有超過25萬人因為打不完的戰爭被迫離開家園。 Darfur難民營裡有超過60%的小孩，他們正面臨教育大危機，包括教師短缺、沒有學校、沒生活用品等。 McGrady’s donation will support the Ocampo School in Djabal camp, located in southeastern Chad, near the border with Darfur. Ocampo School is one of 12 refugee camp schools that the Darfur Dream Team aims to support in the 2009-2010 school year, at a cost of $57,000 per school. In addition to McGrady ’s donation, more than 30 American high schools, middle schools, and universities recently joined together to raise funds to support a second school . McGrady的捐款主要是給Durfur邊境-Chad南方的 Djabal營的 Ocampo School。Ocampo School是Darfur逐夢團隊在2009-2010年的計畫中所蓋的12所難民營學校之一，一間學校要 $57,000美金。除了McGrady的捐款之外，超過30所美國的國、高中和大學最近也一起出錢幫忙蓋第二所學校了。 “I’m thrilled to join all of these U.S. schools in the effort to raise money so that students in the Darfuri refugee camps will have better facilities, teachers, and more supplies,” said McGrady, who visited schools in the Djabal refugee camp during a trip to Chad in 2007. 「美國這些學校的捐款讓我非常感動，這些錢可以讓Darfuri難民營擁有好一點的設備、老師和生活用品。」在2007年曾經去Chad拜訪過Djabal難民營學校的McGrady說。 The Darfur Dream Team partners include the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR); USA for UNHCR, the Enough Project; Participant Media's Darfur Now Social Action Campaign; TakePart.com, the Education Partnership for Children in Conflict, Co-founded by Angelina Jolie and Gene Sperling; Facing History and Ourselves; and i-ACT.

We’re seeking the involvement of many more schools throughout the US and Europe as well as many more NBA players to help create sustained relationships with the students in the refugee camps.” Prendergast along with Enough Advisor Omer Ismail traveled with Tracy McGrady to Djabal refugee camp. Co-founder of the Enough Project的發起人 John Prendergast說「這些大量的捐款只是 Darfur逐夢團隊的開始，我們還在美國各處、歐洲尋求更多學校的參與，讓更多NBA球員和幫助在難民營中的學生並建立且維持長期的關係。 The Sister Schools Program’s web site, www.darfurdreamteam.org, includes an itemized registry that allows schools, basketball players and their teams, companies, and the general public to see the resources and supplies needed by Darfuri refugee camp schools and donate toward items of their choice. Items needed range from textbooks to teacher training to sports equipment; individuals can even donate toward the actual construction of school buildings in the camps.
