I d like to be a part of trying to help people have healthier lives here and it comes from my faith that what we are given we share with others. Hopefully, gradually we can help to improve on their health care, their education. They have a very rich land and people could come in here and take advantage of them. They really need to learn how to take care of themselves and stand up for themselves in the modern world. And I think that takes time and respect.
Cattle are the core of people s lives here.
It teaches them their role in the family and the community, what they re supposed to do. They had lost all their cows. They had no customs that had always given their lives meaning and parameters and the children were growing up without some guidelines to live by. All of this hunger, for the most part, is caused by the war. Southern Sudan is an extremely fertile area and there s no reason why these people can t be feeding themselves and feeding other people as well.
