Focus on South Sudan 
– May 6, Intergenerational Christian Ed
We have several connections to the South Sudan:
- Hope For Humanity from Richmond was formed to provide educational opportunities to the youth of South Sudan. Only 20% of South Sudanese can read: the second highest illiteracy rate in the world.
- In 2007, Hope for Humanity completed the construction of a secondary school in the village of Atiaba, South Sudan: only the 22nd high school to serve the over 1.5 million children. A mere 7% of South Sudanese teachers have had any formal teacher training.
- The Episcopal Church is active in that country. We will have an intergenerational Christ Ed at 10am May 6 focusing on that relationship
- The ECW has supported Hope for Humanity
- Fredericksburg native Larry Duffee is currently a missionary there
- Hope For Humanity is holding a fundraiser for their school at Christ Church, Glen Allen, May 6 from 2pm to 5pm. See below for the postesr.
