Sudan aka: As-Sudan

This is nice

Inconceivably beautiful and saddening, simultaneously. If your heart can stand it, go…………………

My life has been blessed with 5 amazing young men, whom we mentored/adopted from Sudan. They are also known as The Lost Boys of Sudan. They arrived here May of 2001 with nothing but a backpack and high hopes and dreams. They are truly an inspiration to me…They have had a horrific life in Sudan and in the refugee camps for years.

My 5 “sons” are hopeful there will be peace in Sudan and they will be able to return and contribute in helping their people.

James – Graduated from a selective university, working and applying to Grad Schools.

The others – are going to the local college and working full-time. They are achieving their dreams in being educated and having freedom. One day soon, it is my hope, after many many conversations with them about Sudan, I will join them on their journey back for the first time. I am their mother here in the states, I pray I can hand them over to their mothers in Sudan.

sweet people but much suffering and heart ache

unlike what comes on the mdia, this is all a politica poropaganda, sudan is a beautiful country and most important beautiful people, thier inner beauty glow in the darkest night, and thier friendly nature make you feel welcomed more than home, u dont need to know to enter people heart you just say SALAMALLAYKOM (peace be upon you).

i fyou go to sudan u mustnt expect much in both side, sudan is a developing country which has been torn out by wars for several decads. it is changing to the better definetly but yet not fastly growing.

at the same time it is not the crude wild image promoted in the t.v there are som much historical and natural attraction , itis aslo rich in wildlife and organic food, however u dont expect to see lions strallig down town, and it is not all deseret, so just for information THERIVERNILE is formed in khartoun the capital city of sudan, so it has great similarity to egypt but less crowded.

if you relly want to enjoy sudan u must have at least some one you know there to tour you around the intresting places in the city khartoum, though many tourist dont know of the man facilities available there.

good contact numbers are availabe upon request.

wish u all happy trip

Here is my dream.

So I will go to college and become a NP or GP (I am still debating whether or not to go with the cheaper and quicker route or not), then I will work in my career for a few years to work off college expenses, I hope to by the time I am 30 be living in Sudan long term, I will get a large team of doctors and nurses, build a church, orphanage, and public hospital, have teams that would go out monthly to different AIDS effected villages, and help get those dear people living healthy and happily. Well that’s my dream(I have had that exact plan since I was 12, the dream of Sudan since 10, and being a missionary in Africa since 4)

A life changing experience but not made for those emotionally unstable….it would ruin you

It’s just a dream of mine. I might be going in two years short term but I eventually plan to live there permanently as a doctor missionary.

i saw all the homeless people living on the street and it broke my heart.

A very quick trip in and out of a place where they definitely don’t like Americans. Well actually the people may, but the corrupt government sure doesn’t.

Wouldn’t visit again, but mostly because those native to the country are doing a better job working with orpans and widows than we can for them. They just need support.
