FEBRUARY BULLETIN:
NEWS OF THE
FILM AND SOCIAL IMPACT CAMPAIGN
Dear Eileen,
In the war-torn Nuba Mountains of Sudan, American doctor Tom Catena
selflessly and courageously serves the needs of a forgotten people. As
the region is bombed relentlessly by indicted war criminal Omar
Al-Bashir, two things remain constant: Dr. Tom’s faith and his
enduring love for the Nuba people.
THE HEART OF NUBA, a new
documentary from Director Kenneth Carlson and Executive Producer Maria
Shriver, brings you to the Nuba mountains to meet a man and a people
you will not soon forget.

Congratulations to Dr. Tom who was selected as the 2017

Mountains.
The Aurora

to an individual whose actions have had an exceptional impact on
preserving human life and advancing humanitarian causes. The prize was

wellbeing to help them survive.

Donate to Mother of Mercy Hospital
Every dollar donated goes to Dr. Tom and the Mother of Mercy hospital
to buy supplies, including vaccines and syringes, to support the local
school and, most importantly, to continue to train the Nuba staff and

expand your influence even further and become a fund raiser for Dr.
Tom.
