For a really wonderfully written account of the affects of the wars in Sudan, I'd recommend reading "What is the What" by Dave Eggers. It's based on the story of one of the "Lost Boys", and is incredibly touching.
Also, here's a small collection of news articles about Sudan, for those of you who would like to know more about the circumstances we're getting into...
The latest on Darfur: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7534353.stm (A lot of you have mentioned concern about us getting into all of that... but we're going to be in South Sudan, not near Darfur, so we'll actually be in one of the safest parts of the country.)
A Q & A with some basics about Sudan: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3211002.stm
Brief update from back in March on the refugees returning home: http://www.voanews.com/english/archive/2008-03/2008-03-28-voa47.cfm?CFID=19554324&CFTOKEN=49901161
Lots of information, particularly about the ICC's case against Sudanese President Omer Al-Bashir: http://www.sudantribune.com/
