The film is being shown as a fundraiser for the Alaska Sudan Medical Project, which supports Seaman's work through its commitment to building a new medical clinic, digging wells and building latrines. The project was founded after Dr. Jack Hickel and nurse Lori Gibbons visited Seaman in Old Fangak in November 2007, and found the situation there more desperate than they could have imagined.
Thursday's fundraiser is at the Alaska Wild Berry Theatre, 5225 Juneau St., off East International Airport Road. The film will be shown at 7 and 8:15 p.m. Project volunteers who just returned from Old Fangak will give an update on Seaman and the project's efforts to bring hope to that part of the world.
A donation of $10 is suggested.
