One Brick at a Time...

Hello my blog readers, it's time for us to raise funds for buying bricks for building school.  We cannot do without you.  Your contribution will make a great change in South Sudanese lives.   

I would like to tell you a short story of the Sudan.  The British recolonized Sudan in 1898.  After the battle of Omdurman in 1898 to 1899, the British government and Anglo-Egyptian signed a condominium agreement to restore Egyptian authority in Sudan.   At that time, the British had the super authority to approve any decision concerning Sudan rather than the Egyptians.  Although, the condominium agreement was signed between Britain and Egypt, in controlling Sudan under Egypt, the British had the responsibility in governing the territory in place of the Egyptian government.

During the period of Anglo-Egyptian condominium, the British government wanted to develop Sudan by using European technology with the Sudanese undeveloped economy, change their authoritarian institutions, and makes them follow the liberal English traditions.  However, the British stated that the southern Sudanese provinces were isolated, undeveloped, and had many tribal conflicts in addition to the slave trade was going on in the South.  The British concluded that the South was not ready for exposure to the modernization.  I will tell British government that South Sudan is ready to be exposure to the modernization.

As a result, we Southern remained isolated from the rest of the modern world.  Over 50 years of living in the Civil War, discrimination, persecutions, hatred, humiliation, and many others.  According to the UN over 2 million people died in 22 years of civil war.  Many of South Sudanese were born in the War, grew old in the war, and died in the war.  People are just getting out of war wound.      

Many South Sudanese people do not have opportunities to go to school.   People of South Sudan are hungry for Education.  As Nelson Mandela portrayed that "Education is the most powerful weapon.”  The Word of God said, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).  South Sudanese need education.

Due to lack of education, girls were seen as wealth or property in the house.  They grew to get married and family of the girl expect a lot of dowry to be paid in order to let their daughter go to with her husband.  Many young girls died during the childbirth, because they were not ready to have a baby. 

Glory to God for the new country of the Republic of South Sudan; now its time our people to study first, and then marriage will come later.  You can be part of great change for the South Sudanese Christian.  You can go and encourage, teach, and pray with them. God bless you.
