Raising Awareness about

South SudanThe Journey to help the orphans at the AVAAR orphanage in Bor Town, South Sudan

Reverend Arou spoke to us about the plight of the children in Bor Town, South Sudan

Bor Town SudanBor experienced decades of civil war

until the peace agreement of 2005. Many people then returned to the

city in search of family. Although many families were united,

some of the children had been orphaned and had no extended family that could be found.

Rev. Arou explained the work that he does

South Sudan Africa

Children in the orphanage are aged 5 – 16 years

Volunteers assist with food preparation for the orphans

Continuing Story of Development When Joseph left in 2009 there were

about 44 orphaned children who were being assisted in a compound near the Cathedral in Bor.

Some rooms were built so that they had shelter for sleeping and a simple classroom.

The school now has about 650 pupils, who have lost either one or both parents.

We were amazed to hear about the hardships that his family and friends have suffered and are now overcoming

We now have a better understanding of the valuable work that he is doing

Appeal to help the orphanage

A simple dormitory or classroom costs as little as $5,000

$4,800 is the wage for a teacher or carer for one year

$850 will provide food for one child for a year.

$50 will provide one orphan with clothing for a year.

We organised a crazy hair day at school and began our fundraising for the Bor Town Orphanage
