SOS Children Village an international organization based in Juba, has on Tuesday launched an initiative to support children at Gumbo basic primary school   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative dubbed Emergency Respond Program (ERP) targets over 200 school going children from the most vulnerable families in Sherikat area<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rolled out includes provision of exercise books, mathematical sets, school bags, pencils and pens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has a propensity to support its beneficiaries for all the three terms of the 2022 school academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bismark Hakim is the SOS Children\u2019s Village Community mobilization officer; he gave an overview about  the initiative  \u201cThe educational support we are implementing today is part of an all out emergency respond program being implemented in Rajaf Payam of Juba County and the school supports particularly  targets orphans and children from the most vulnerable families\u201d He said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bismark expressed his organization\u2019s commitment to support the most vulnerable families in South Sudan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are really committed to support these most vulnerable families and also hoping to extend the initiative beyond the borders of Juba County\u201d He added<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere at Gumbo basic was filled with excitement as beneficiaries expresses their ecstasy at the good gesture of SOS children village<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smiles could be seen on the faces of the recipients as they walk home flanged in their new school bags filled with scholastic materials<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17 year old Victoria Kaku,  could not hide her pleasure with the gifts she received \u201cI lived with my uncle who doesn\u2019t have any job but he struggles to send me to school; this support will help him a lot since he will not have to struggle to buy me scholastic materials\u201d  she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaku however urged SOS to also consider covering other school needs in the next project \u201cAs you can see me now, I don\u2019t have a school uniform because my uncle is still struggling to clear my school fees, if you can consider these in your next project, you would have done a lot of favour to my struggling family\u201d the jolly Kaku added<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile 18 years old Peter Kon emphasis were on the issue of school\u2019s shoes and uniform; Kon who was in sandals and also in non-school uniform said his school mates kept taunting him whenever he is in class \u201csometimes I just don\u2019t feel like coming to school because I look different in the class and the pupils keeps making jokes about me not wearing school uniform\u201d a weary Kon said <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand the Headmaster of Gumbo basic Daniel Ladu, urged other humanitarian organizations to emulate SOS Children\u2019s Village work of reaching to the most vulnerable children<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c The gesture by SOS Children Village will encourage a lot of children to continue with their school; I encourage other Non-governmental organization to come up and support SOS work since we still have over 400 hundred vulnerable children left without support\u201d Ladu said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next distribution of scholastic materials will be in second term according to Bismark Hakim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
