  • ue to the war in Sudan, there are thousands of orphans in the South with no government infrastructure to help these vulnerable at-risk children. Make Way Partners is making a difference with the help of committed individuals like you through offering complete care by protecting, housing, feeding, medically treating and educating hundreds of children through our indigenous ministries - New Life Ministry & Hope For Sudan.  The death rate of un-housed orphans is very high due to exposure to weather, wildlife, and rape. In 2006, more than 280 orphans died at night in our Nyamlell community directly because of not having housing. By meeting more than the basic survival needs of these children and by ministering to both Darfur Refugees and Southern Sudanese children - we are helping to raise-up a generation of educated Peace Makers, rather than deprived revenge seekers.

    The Main Street Pimp I remember walking down Main Street and seeing this man. He stood out from the rest of the people I saw everyday. He would wear these interesting outfits unlike anything I had ever seen except for maybe in the movies. I found out he was known as the Main Street Pimp. When the podcaster said "Where is the Main Street Pimp?" I started to think and realized I had not seen him in a while. I wondered what had happened to him. I always enjoyed seeing him it kind of made me smile because he loved to be different from everyone else. He always looked happy. When I found out that the the Main Street Pimp had "died from a brain tumor" I was really sad. I missed seeing him walk around Main Street. He really became part of flushing and he really helped make it unique. I understand now why he did the things he did since he had schizophrenia. Although he had this condition he seemed happy and upbeat. He never seemed to care about what other people had to say about him. I would always say hello to him and he would smile. I am always happy to see people that make the best of their situation. I think although you may have issues you should not just give up or hate life. You should always live life to it's fullest. All I have left to say is rest in peace Main Street Pimp. We miss you.

    What I noticed about, "Flushing Pimp" is how this man named Manuel was happy. He dressed very nice and always looked fresh. He stood out in crowded Main Street. There were people who admired him and people who ridiculed him, but no matter what, Manuel was happy. However, the Flushing Pimp has not been seen the in past year. Helen, Andrea, and Rayon try to learn more about him and search for him. They interview random people on Main Street. They told them about how unique Manuel dressed and how he stood out in the crowd. They also did not see the Flushing Pimp and wondered what ever happened to him. There were rumors that he died or went away somewhere, but Helen and her crew were determined to find out what happened. The crew went out to where Manuel used to live. They went inside the apartment building and rang the doorbell. A woman answered, however she didn't open the door fully. Her name was Caroline and she was the sister of Manuel. She talked for over an hour behind her door. When the crew asked where's Manuel, Caroline told them that he had died of cancer. Caroline said, "There were people who made fun of Manuel when he walked down the street, but he didn't care as he was just happy....He felt the need to look good." Caroline said that her brother suffered from a condition called schizophrenia. According to Google Health, "Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations." Caroline's tone throughout the interviewed changed from despising her brother, to actually caring about him. She talked about how Manuel was suffering from cancer. When Manuel was in the hospital, he called Caroline to bring him home because he didn't want to feel miserable. Even though he was about to die, he lived his life to the fullest. He looked forward to what was ahead of him. It was tragic
