Recent attacks on villages in South Sudan have left widows and orphans, as well as injured in need of medical care. The Sudanese Ministry Committee will work through the Episcopal Church of Sudan, family members, and the American Friends of the Episcopal Church of Sudan to insure that money goes where it is needed. For more information on the attacks, please see these articles from the Episcopal News Service and The Telegraph.
HOME: DUK, SOUTH SUDAN
Even though I am not in Duk right now, I know what it feels like. It hurts every time when things like this attack happen. But I believe God is there for all the survivors. I lost my grandpa, some of my family members, some are wounded, and I don’t know yet who is still living right now in my family. The village is burned down and the people don’t have places to live. People don’t have water or food right now. It’s not safe to go to the places where there is food or water. It is the most terrible thing that can happen to anyone. I want to be able to help. I believe God put me here for a reason. I hope people will understand what my people are going through right now and help them by donating money.
I was always hoping that one day I would be able to do something positive for my people, such as building a school or clinic for poor people in my community, Duk, in South Sudan. However, no one can predict what will happen in the future. And also, we can’t control what will happen. The only thing I know is that God always brings good out of bad. I never thought five years ago I would be here in a safe place where I don’t have to worry about anything or anybody that can hurt me. Still, I have so many loved ones that I really care about still home in Duk.
