the children in Bor Town, South Sudan

3. Bor Town Sudan
 Bor 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.

does

8. 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.

hardships that his

13. 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.

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