From Johnson of CRADA (Christian Relief and Development Agency)

Dear sarah,

I know and its very hard to put in place some of the requests. We (CRADA) with a support from our donors we are trying to move to Akobo for emergency intervention. You know the prolem in Akobo is not a single thing that can be eradicated in a time, but accumulative implications ranging from shortage of water and sanitation, lack of sleeping materials, and insecurity. All these are there and made it so hard to know which area to start with.

Currently we are working in taking in NFI, fishing kits to Akobo for the idps and we will see what other thing God will provide. Your contribution is a blessing, and may depend on what capacity and wht you feel so important in this situation especially if you shoulld provide used clothes, tents, fishing kits( ready silk) and any other support

The Burmath/Nyadit attack earlier this year made the community to move with nothing at all. You can see their house were burnt down, they walk without clothes to cover themselves and they lost all their properties. They are out in Akobo under tree without tukkuls. I may only aqsk God, if you should be allowed by your government to pay a visit and see by your eyes before deciding what support you should offer to these IDPS. Your prayer is more important too

Thanks,

Johnson
