Making Ends Meet.

We are so grateful for Susan being able to get the Vehicle that they have been longing for. The fact that many things are still pending because of lack of funds for the vehicle, we are glad that she now has the Land cruiser which is very suitable for the land of Sudan and part of the Northern Uganda. Susan has been traveling using buses for the past 11yrs all the way from Kampala to South Sudan which takes over 14 hours of Travel. With her age, it has been very difficult for her and she appreciates all that have supported the IWASSRU team to purchase the vehicle.
Two days ago we used the same vehicle to deliver a wheel chair to Samuel Wori who is paralyzed for the past 22years. His wife and children took off when they learned that he was paralyzed. The neighbors are the ones taking care of him. He has been lying on bed for all those years. It was a great joy for him to get the wheel chair which was donated through IWASSRU.

The same day we also visited two ladies at Mogiri- This is in Kajo keji county South Sudan and it’s an area where most of the people living with Leprosy are. With us we took some few supplies like Soap, Blankets and Petroleum jelly for them which had been donated by Mama Lyla Peterson. It’s hard to imagine that the government does nothing about this people and the disturbing part is the church doing nothing at all. It’s estimated that over 1800 people are living with Leprosy in Kajo Keji County.
One of our team members Lexie spent a lot of time with one of the ladies also affected with Leprosy and her main agenda is to learn and understand more of how this people cope with their lives. We'll update soon with some of her experiences.
