GH's Roche Hosts Angels of East Africa Event

1 GENERAL HOSPITAL's Sebastian Roche hosted the Angels Of East Africa Celebrity Charity Event at Social Hollywood on Friday in Los Angeles. Here he is pictured with Richard Fields and Rv. Sam Childs. Angels of East Africa is a Children’s Village for orphans located in South Sudan dedicated to the rescue, restoration, and enablement of children caught in the crossfire of the rebel atrocities in the area. Founded by an unorthodox American pastor from Pennsylvania named Sam Childers, the organization has been operating for a decade, saving the lives of hundreds of children and renewing hope in a region where it had all but vanished. Specifically and most notoriously, the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), led by the spiritist warlord Joseph Kony, is culpable for the heinous crimes that plague the region. The threat of attack at the orphanage is a daily reality, but Sam Childers and his team refuse to let the LRA terrorize the children they have worked so hard to rescue and protect. Children’s Village is the only orphanage in South Sudan that refuses to move or retreat amidst increased rebel attacks or incidents of war. The more than 200 children at the property found their path to shelter in many different ways. Some were brought to the property after they lost their parents to disease. Others walked hours or even days from recently attacked villages, passing out literally as they approached the orphanage gate. Most of the children, however, were rescued by the soldiers and staff from Children’s Village after witnessing the murder of their parents or being abducted by rebel groups. Every child’s story is a bit different, but a common thread binds them all; after experiencing what could only be described as hell on earth, they are eventually rescued by the soldiers and staff at Children’s Village. In a valiant effort that places even their own lives on the line, this devoted staff experiences life every day with these children in order to resurrect hope in their hearts. Sam sees Children’s Village as a mission that gives purpose to his life. He would like to see more people join that mission. "A lot of times we might help someone a little bit, but I'm talking about really saving a life. Most of us have never done that. And if the American people would only learn to really save a life, it would change their own [lives]. I know, because it has [changed] mine."
