PLANS UPON RETURN TO SOUTH SUDAN

         Maintenance of this group to have a network in their respective states is a priority to keep the hope and goals of SSHIELD alive, and that will allow us to collectively and effectively practice the huge experience and knowledge we have gain here. So upon my return to South Sudan, I will team up with some members among this group to initiate and build a “community resource center” where various activities will be carried out to enhance, support and empower girls and women. These activities will include adult education programs, recreational activities, hand and machine knitting training, awareness programs on gender related issues. This was prior to the best lesson I have learn from “leadership” class about the ‘vital voices’ of women across Africa who have actually changed millions lives of many women through such activities. Another goal is to effectively participate in ‘curriculum development processes’ with the ministry of education in designing the syllabus or unified curriculum as a very effective way of keeping solidarity among the diverse community. That was as well prior to the lesson I have learned with Dr. Keith about ‘history of curriculum development’ in different countries based on good merits in history and how it’s helpful to keep people as one in the country. Generally, I have learned more of hard work and tolerance.
