Without Education no future in south Sudan

Merry Christmas & happy new year!

Thanks for your continued support to Educate Children and Fight Poverty in South Sudan.

There is no political agreement reach between the government and SPLA in Opposition despite IGAD sponsored peace mediations since the alleged coup. South Sudan is getting worse every day. Hope for peace has depreciated as the clashes continue to take place in Jonglei state.

The construction of Mairo Primary School did not go as planned for two reasons. The unpaved road to Omilling was utterly destroyed due to heavy rainfall. Truck owners were not willing to deliver the building materials to the site. Owners fear to get stranded in the muddy road, and a truck might get broken down Also the political instability in the country had discouraged commercial transport firms to restrict their services within Juba.

Mr. Francis went to Omilling to check on the road, security, and talk to the local chief with the view to start the construction after Christmas' eve. Because January to Mach is summer time to build since there will be no rain for a while. Within this time, a truck can deliver the building materials to the site.

Last year we received $13,500 from Trolltech foundation (phase two). Your donations will be added up together to buy the construction materials. Even thought this is good news, it will construct the classroom to the ring beam level as we are a campaign to raise more fund.

Several months ago and with your money, 300 bags (50Kg each) purchased from a supplier but due to lack of transport these goods were not delivered to the site. This time we are sure the truck will be hired to transport to the site. From your contribution, money has been set aside to pay ten trip of sand, quarry stones, and hardcore stones.

This project is still far away from completion, but the progress is real indeed. Building two classrooms in last year helps in completing this project in the end. In the next quarter a new field update be sent, so that you know what your contribution is helping from the ground.
