Hope North Supporter Forest Whitaker and founder Sam Okello in 2007. Sam and Forest met while filming "The Last King of Scotland" which included choreography by Mr. Okello.

A note from Forest Whitaker:
"After visiting Hope North and spending time with its founder Okello Kelo Sam, I was moved to action. Hope North is a much-needed sanctuary for young people whose lives have been stolen by a brutal civil war. More than a safe space, Hope North is about making displaced children whole again – through education, work and recreation in a culturally-rich environment. I am deeply honored to play a role creating opportunities for these terrific kids. I hope you can join in the effort."

– Forest Whitaker
