Schools in remote, war-torn villages in South Sudan are being built through the support of the Rochester area community. Learn the back story of this project and how those involved overcame surprising resistance. It's all part of WXXI's Schools for South Sudan series.
WXXI’s Hélène Biandudi Hofer traveled to South Sudan to explore the issues of education, diversity and racism in the war-torn country and compare them to the issues we face in Rochester. Schools for South Sudan is supported in part by The Community Foundation. Follow Hélène's travels on Twitter: @HeleneWXXI and #SouthSudanEd
