Thank you for your interest in our upcoming broadcast from a Sudanese refugee
camp.

After a grueling trip through rough roads and flooded river beds, the Global
Nomads Group team has arrived at the Breijing Refugee Camp, located
along the Chad/Sudan border.

Conditions there are extremely harsh, with refugees braving 100-plus degree heat
and sudden, violent thunderstorms with little or nothing to protect them. The
camp is currently way over capacity and is having trouble keeping up with the
stream of new refugees that arrive daily.

Given the remoteness, very few people (and aid) have been able to access the
camp. On Friday, August 27th at 10 am (ET) - NOTE THE TIME CHANGE - you will have the opportunity to get
a firsthand account of the situation from aid workers and refugees.

THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE BROADCAST, SO DON’T MISS IT!
