The school is located in the village of Wernyol in a remote part of Southern Sudan .The area does not receive aid and the people are very poor. Students at the school range in age from 6 to 18 years. They are in need of the following supplies:

• Pencils, paper and notebooks
• Books
• Tables and Benches
• Permanent School Building .

Joseph was made aware of the school needs on a recent visit to Wernyol where he has friends and relatives living. He found the children want to learn and travel up to ten miles by foot to attend school. The teacher is a high school graduate. He graduated from a high school in Kenya . He is one of the "LOST BOYS" who did not have the opportunity to come to America .

The school building is made of mud and grass and during the rainy season the building is damaged by heavy rains. Therefore there is no place to store school supplies

A permanent building could be constructed of bricks which the people in the village could make. Heavy plastic could be used for roof. The people of the village could construct the building. This would involve the people and provide them with some income to help feed their families.

The challenge is to raise enough money to cover the cost of :  

• School supplies
• Building materials
• Wages for labor
  + Involved in construction of building
  + Delivery of goods
