Urgent Needs in Sudan

When we visited the St. Bartholomew Orphanage in November of last year, we stopped in at the school that the kids at the orphanage use for classes. It was a mud and brick structure with a decaying roof. The picture on the left is what the building looked like at the time. Now Susan writes:

"There were heavy rains in Kajokeji last month accompanied by winds. The weather destroyed the shabby temporary primary and nursery school where the children attend lessons. IWASSRU constructed the Shabby School because we can't keep the children without schooling and there is no other school in the area up to now.

In short there's no change in Kajokeji town regarding schooling and what we appreciate from the Government is security. Thus if we don't act or renew that shabby blown school, the children would definitely not study well this year.

I shall appreciate if you could share this burden with others and put it to the Lord for provision. Also the St. Bartholomew's orphanage was fenced with barbed wire to prevent strangers from passing through the children'’s compound.

Unfortunately, it has fallen and we need to renew it for security reasons especially during the night. The girls also need a separate bathroom and the budgets are as follows:"

St. Bartholomew School Building $860 for the following supplies: fencing poles, roofing poles, nails, sisal ropes, long bundled grass, transport, labor, and papyrus mats for the floor.

St. Bartholomew Fencing materials $840 for the following supplies: poles, nails, barbed wire, transporting materials and labor.

New Girls' Bathroom $180 for the following supplies: bricks, cement, and labor.
