Although the fighting has ceased in southern Sudan, devastation has been left behind. In the rebuilding stages, Sudanese families are struggling to get their lives back together. They may not be running from tree to tree for safety, but many of their homes and livelihood have been destroyed.
In April 2007, Children’s Hunger Relief Fund ventured to poverty-stricken Sudan with another relief shipment. Two charter flights were filled with supplies such as food, salt, soap, mosquito nets, Jerry cans for water, cooking pots, plus fishing hooks and lines. Plastic sheeting and building materials were also provided for shelter.
While on the relief mission, members from the relief team of CHRF met with local leaders in Leer and Waat, along with the Vice-President of Sudan.
As the planes landed in Leer and Waat, Sudanese children rushed to help unload the relief aid, eagerly carrying sacks of food that closely outweighed them. Six tons of aid was delivered to Leer and five tons to Waat.
Because of your generous donations, hope was instilled in thousands of people that there can be a better future.
