This trip is in the Fall or winter -((November/December 2011-Jan 2012

This Fall/Winter NDO trip is set up no more than 10 people ( delegation team) because of several reasons. The major reason is the transportation and infrastructure because this area or region is lacked almost everything, for instance, the reliable transportation there is by boat or boats even though next three to four months the Wanding community hope there will be airplanes/lines to go direct to Wanding and perhaps other transportation assents.

The NDO team is currently preparing to send delegation team to the southeastern region of South Sudan in the Fall/Winter specifically November/December 2011 not only to determine how we can most effectively serve the South Sudanese. Everyone is welcome to join us but the trip is set up only 11 people total or at least minimum because of other challenges we might face in terms of lack of infrastructures and civil development ( i.e. there is no housing in the area or village we are targeting).

The goals or the objectives of this trip are following tasks and activities:

·      Deliver education immediate needs such as school supplies/materials and other educational resources

·        Deliver health or health care needs such as insect repellents/sprays ( mosquito prevention) and water purifiers/purification (clean water)

·         First aid specifically health or health care supplies

·         Meets with returned refugees and the local communities ( leaders, activists, youths, women and elders)

·        Host training workshops, seminars and conferences ( recruit people who have have educational and health care backgrounds)

·     Host training workshops, seminars, training (water purifier training, water protection, first aid, etc)

·     Set up base in Juba and other areas in southeastern Sudan ( Wanding, Nasir/Malakal) as well meet with government institutions, and international NGOs such as UN, Red Cross, UNICEF, and etc

·    Assess the costs to construct a school including materials and labor for construction, maintenance, curricular, and instructional

·    Where, how to purchase materials and supplies for both education and medical materials

·    Particulars of housing needs

·     Starts up to construct facilities

NDO is now raising funds for these purposes, particularly school supplies and materials as well as health care. So we are currently working to raise$19,000 for this trip, particular November -December 2011-2012.  Learn how you can help or donate now.

Also, if some people feel not to go direct to Wanding so they will  still have opportuntiy to do other tasks on the ground in southern Sudan on the behalf of NDO . Places like Malakal, Juba, Nasir but we recommend everyone who is going to traveled with us at least to go to direct to Wanding  Payam ( village/district) . Please see Wanding on the map. 

Again, the objective of November-December Trip is to meet and host training workshops, seminars, and conferences with refugee returnees and local people and then we will lead toward to establishing a school and healthcare foundations as well as to set up bases and networks with local communities, governments, and NGOs and INGOs. This Trip also will give us opportunities to interact and know the community which we are helping as well we will begin to examine the healthcare and economic pillars since NDO as a whole decided to start with education but the same time we are carry healthcare as our second pillar.

In fact, everyone interested to make the world and to assist people of southern Sudan, please join us  and you are very welcome to travel in southeastern Sudan with us. This is without going to be life experience for all of us whether you traveled oversea countries before or not, we can almost guarantee that you will love it even though there might challenges regarding lack of housings and other basic necessities. But we have to be aware these things were not born with us there are built by us so we can do this!

Learn how you can get involved.
