SUDAN FACES

GOOD NEWS JUST IN!

Beny Ngor Chol has recently returned from 3 months in Africa where he looked for land to build the projected Multi-Purpose Center for the disabled of Southern Sudan. He met with the Land Commissioner and a Land Title Official in Juba, the largest city in the South. He told them of the plan, sponsored by the Lost Boys Face Foundation. They offered to GIVE land near Juba to locate the Center if the non-profit Foundation could raise the funds to build and staff it.

At Overland Park Unity Church in Kansas, Beny and Ayuel Leek (along with Barbara Youree) first told the good news and explained their vision to help the disabled and vulnerable people of Southern Sudan.

President Obama has chosen retired Major General J. Scott Gration as special envoy to Sudan. This action is urgently needed as many people around the world have been hoping that the President would appoint someone of Major Gration’s ability, experience, and integrity. In 2006 Major Gration traveled to Africa with Mr. Obama and visited the refugee camps in Chad.

Following the arrest warrant for President Al-Bashir of Sudan for war crimes, the Sudanese government expelled 13 international aid agencies (NGOs), which left 1.1 million civilians without vital food deliveries and many more left without potable water and health care. We can expect to hear of starvation and disease on a grand scale.

Hopefully, the new envoy to Sudan will be able to make a difference in this land that continues to be left devastated and desolate.
