SUDAN AT A TIME OF GREAT STRESS AND GREATER HOPE

This is a difficult time for everyone in Sudan as well as for Sudanese abroad and people who know and love the Sudanese – northerners as well as southerners, easterners and westerners. Understanding and compassion is needed for all Sudanese as the referendum voting continues and as they face a new and uncertain future in its aftermath.


There are many concerns but among them is the plight of thousands of southerners who have congregated on the outskirts of Khartoum in the belief that their journey south would be facilitated by government, international or church efforts. This is not apparently happening sufficiently and major health and security issues could develop.

Together for Sudan has lost two of our five key colleagues in the Khartoum office. One hopes to return after the referendum but may not be able to do so. Nonetheless, we are determined to carry on as a charity dedicated to helping, in particular, women and children who are marginalized and in need of education. But major adjustments seem to lie ahead.

TfS remains dedicated to Sudan and to its multi-cultured and worthy people. At this difficult time of enormous change we hold hope for the Sudanese people and ask God to guide and protect them.

May peace and justice prevail,

Lillian Craig Harris

Director, Together for Sudan

Web Site Updated

Once again the website for our charity has been updated and includes more stuff. Mainly this time around it's documents including the latest Financial Report and Annual Trustees Report. The really big change though is the Latest News page which has now got a grid style design filled with little news snippets. We are doing so much now as a charity that the old style page just could not cope. Each snippet leads to a bigger article and the cleverest thing is that the grid design allows us to pop news in easily and simply.
Together for Sudan is a dynamic and growing charity that is doing more and more, and is ever in need of funds to support it's work in Sudan. By providing better access to what we are doing we hope to encourage our supporters and web visitors to support us as we continue to grow. Check out the website now if you have not yet seen it, all visitors are welcome. www.togetherforsudan.org
