A few years ago I had the oportunity to meet and speak with Gabriel Bol Deng of the organization HOPE FOR ARIANG at SUNY Oswego. He appears to be genuine humanitarian working diligently to help those in South Sudan under very difficult conditions. Gabriel has recently sent out a special appeal concerning needs in Ariang where he is currently visiting/ working I find this opportunity unique in that the appeal for aid comes from a resident of our area who is actually witnessing the need and directly involved in trying to assist. We at A PLACE FOR PEACE support Gabriel and his organization and ask all to take a moment to read this recent request, view their website and do what you can to help in this situation.
