Why Orphans?

Having no parents taking care of them, orphans lack many basic things that are usually provided by one or more parents. Many orphans need education to increase their standard of living and become contributors to their communities. Without assistance, they face much hardship in trying to achieve their goals. There are children whose parents passed away prematurely, but the civil war between North and South Sudan has made it worse. It has increased the number of orphans in Southern Sudan.

 

Although a peace agreement was signed in 2005 that gave many people hope that things would improve, the lives of orphaned children are still miserable. Orphans are the ones who suffer the most and that is why NSJOF has stepped up to help these children.

 

Guidlines For Selecting Orphaned Children:

 We will carry out an assessment of all applicant orphan participants in this program. The assessment will include the following:

   ♦ Name, age, gender, and previous education.

   ♦ The orphan status will be verified by acquiring information regarding when each parent passed away.

   ♦ Specifically where in Jonglei each applicant comes from (i.e. region, clan, sub-clan, tribe, family).

   ♦ The applicant's vision of how they will use their education, specifically a plan in which they commit to give back to their community. 

 

Applicants will be selected based on the above criteria. We will not choose applicants who are not truly orphans, which is to say those children with neither parent living nor no adult providing adequate care. We will attempt to choose applicants from a variety of regions, clans, sub-clans, and tribes.  We will attempt to choose applicants who have previous education background and show potential for excelling in his or her education. We will attempt to choose equal numbers of male and female applicants. We will attempt to choose applicants who show the most interest in improving their communities.

NSJOF Chairman Robert Bob lost his Mother-Sad news

12-08-2011

December 9, 2011

Dear Board Members 

I would like to express my honest condolences on the recent passing of Bob’s mother. You and I send the prayers to his family at this difficult moment. 

Although I never meet Bob mother, the time I spent with Bob as my mentor at Champlain College and serving on my foundation and all other things that he have done to me so far. All this has shows me what kind of a family background he comes from and I can see his mother in him and how painful this loss is.

There is nothing in this world that is more painful than the loss of a relative

I lost my parents long time ago as you all know but it was not that long ago that I lost my closer cousin and a wife of my other closer cousin.  They passed way two weeks ago, so I have some of idea of what Bob, his family, and relatives are going through. It is painful, totally painful. Totally, no comfort in him, his family and relatives at this movement, there is no comfort that is quite enough to replace the loss, the loss like this. This is the loss that will never be replaced and I pray hard and ask you all to join me in prayer so that God can give Bob and his family a power of comfort in this difficult time.

Please Bob, pass our deepest sympathies on to your wife, your children, grandchild, and the rest of your relatives.

May Almighty lord rest your mother in peace.

Yours sincerely 

Peter Garang Deng

NSJOF Founder and President
