Dau Jok: My Misson In Africa

I last posted about Jake's former player Dau Jok here.

Since then, Dau's mission to bring hope and peace to his home country of Sudan has moved full speed ahead. You can read about the inspiring reasons behind Dau's mission in a new article written by ESPN here:

Currently Dau and 12 of his University of Penn teammates are in Rwanda to provide help and resources to people in need. After their service is done in Rwanda, most of the group will return to the United States but Dau will continue his journey back to his homeland of South Sudan to implement the Dut Jok Youth Foundation (named after his late father). The best thing is, Dau and one of his teammates are blogging during their current journey in Africa!!!! You can follow it here:
