Request for Donation

Welcome to SSEC, your action is invited to make a difference!



Dear Mr/Ms X,

South Sudan Education for Change (SSEC) is respectfully asking you for a $1- 53,000 donation to help support the Pabil Primary School Project. SSEC has the goal of raising $53,000, and your donation would take us closer to reaching our goal. To further this goal, SSEC has partnered with The Hope Alliance, a non-profit organization, which allows all donations to be tax deductible.


Goal


SSEC's goal is to increase the literacy level of children in the South Sudan community by providing a favorable learning environment for the children. Currently, classes are held outside, under trees. SSEC would like to build a school in which classes could be held.


The Role of SSEC

The role of SSEC, in partnership with the South Sudan community, is to help build a school by raising financial resources. Once the school building is completed classes would move indoors. 250-300 children would attend the school each year. The government of South Sudan has agreed to continue to provide and pay teachers and the community will maintain the day to day operation and maintenance of the school. SSEC's role would then be limited to providing supplies when needed.


Where We Are Today


Currently, SSEC had spent $30,000 on the project; specifically on building materials such as iron sheets, timbers, rods, cement, grabble, concrete, and blocks production. Another $53,000 is need for additional building materials and contractors. Construction has been delayed until additional funds can be raised. We hope to continue with the construction in December.


Benefit to the Community


Apart from providing a physical building to educate the children, the school would benefit the community in many additional ways. It could be used as a community center, providing a location for community development projects such as agriculture, small business, and health and sanitation trainings. The Diasporas could utilize the facility to transfer their knowledge and skills both when visiting home or by channeling their friends that are on humanitarian mission to the facility.

Thank you for considering a donation to our project and investing in the education of the children of South Sudan. Any donations should be made payable to The Hope Alliance, with a note indicating the "Solomon School Project." Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or visit our blog at http://www.solomonawan.blogspot.com/ to see progress on the project.




Sincerely,


Solomon Awan

Name Change Underway

Supporters of SSLP and patrons, I would like to make you aware on the pending project name change. This name change is necessitated by the birth of the new country on July 9, 2011. The project has the name Southern Sudan that will change when it will becomes the Republic of South Sudan. Therefore there is a need to change the project name as the name Southern Sudan will not longer represents the new country. However, the name has not been picked yet. I would like to invite you to participate in suggesting a suitable name so that a new name is ready comes July 9th. Here are some suggested names:
I. South Sudan Literacy Project
II. South Sudan Education for Change
III. South Sudan School for Change
IV. Dongchack School for Change
<!--[if !supportLists]-->
Please participate by suggesting a new name, or vote on the above four suggested names. We have 15 days to come up with a name and it will be announced two days after that. I am waiting to read your suggestion or voting. Thank you in advance for your participation.
