3694_They survived

By Fr. Tullimelli Davide Raju, SDB

Juba, South Sudan - These are the orphans who came from Bentiu to Juba, they have walked for 16 days. They have arrived to St. Vincent de Paul Parish on Saturday, the 1st of August 2015.

Imagine when we offered some pieces of bread, each of them have taken more than 5 to 6 pieces, they were telling me, they haven't eaten for days.

They are Esther Nyalil 16yrs, Emmanuel Kol Man Yang 14 yrs, Simon Peter 12 yrs, Emmanuel Gori 8 yrs and Mary Among 7 yrs. All of them belong to one family, their parents were killed in Bentiu, they have no one to care for!

Today, in our IDP camp, we have made some tents for them and given them clothes, cooking bowls, plastic buckets, blankets, other stuff which is necessary for them to start their life.

We would like to request you to pray for us, so that we might reach out to many more people who are in need.

Thanks also to the people who constantly help us in one way or the other, God's Blessings
