South Sudan
We are very disturbed by reports emerging from South Sudan that there is fighting in certain places, possible military action and more people displaced.
We do not believe that violence will solve the problems which the people of South Sudan face as they seek to establish a new, prosperous and peaceful country,
We pray for an immediate end to bloodshed. This plea is especially poignant at Christmas when we join with people across the world, praying for peace and justice.
We learn that some of our projects continue to function despite the difficulties.
• The University in Juba has continued working for the students as best it could up to Christmas.
• Our AIDS/HIV outreaches for 2013 were completed safely and planning is taking place for further outreaches to resume in 2014 as conditions allow.
• Kimu Clinic is functioning and the staff are safe.
• We have no word about the adult literacy work in Terekeka but we will continue to pray that staff and the adults in those remote schools remain safe.
We are in contact with our friends in South Sudan and we have, on your behalf, wished them a peaceful Christmas. We are committed to standing beside them and supporting them.
The situation in Sudan is changing rapidly and we will update you with further news of our projects as soon as we can.
Sudan
Our work in Sudan continues and we have regular positive reports from the office in Khartoum about our students at Ahfad. We have recently recruited two further students who will be our St Martin’s scholars in Khartoum
The adult literacy classes for women, work with orphan children and eye care outreaches continue
Recently we have had discussions about extending the involvement of our students into helping with Breast Care awareness alongside our HIV/Aids outreaches. In these outreaches we work to educate some of the most disadvantaged women who are most affected by poverty and lack of opportunity for education.
Thank You
Many of our loyal supporters have responded very generously to our Christmas appeal. Thank you and we look forward to receiving more completed gift aid forms and donations. We will only use funds for projects where we know that the projects can be safely and quickly delivered for the benefit of women.
We pray that 2014 will be peaceful, especially in South Sudan.
We are committed to working with all peacemakers and we know first hand the power of education to promote peace and justice, especially among women.
We wish you and your families a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year holiday. Thank you again for your support
