DISPLACED ... After 21 years of conflict in southern Sudan, just 2% of the region's children finish primary school - one of the lowest rates in the world.

The situation is even worse for girls. In a population of 6-7m, just 500 girls finish primary school each year. Meysun (right) and Balia (left) are in a camp for those displaced by the war in the capital, Khartoum.

A news source presented the above information recently. Certainly life in Southern Sudan is still very difficult. Infrastructure has been destroyed and all basic services are needed. Education will be extrememly important for the future of the South. With all they have endured, we rejoice to see the smiling faces of children in the classroom. Please continue to pray for and support the precious people of Southern Sudan. ...Trusting Him -craig
