Dear Colleagues

These are beautiful pictures, and I would like to get permission to use them in connection with the Tr-Ac-Net Community Impact Accountancy project … as well any more feedback that you can share with me about your work.

I worked with UNDP and UNHCR around Juba and Yei in the 1980s, and learned a lot about what is possible with very little when done in the right way … if you will, a BOP rather than the TOP approach.

Sincerely

Peter Burgess

Thanks for letting me catch a glimpse of my Yei again. Its been 18 years since I left my home. I was a toddler then. The Teak trees in the picture brought back old memorable moments.

Hi, I just stumbled upon your pictures–they are great. My husband and I are moving to Juba, Sudan, next year to fly with MAF (he’s a pilot), so we were wondering if we could borrow your picture of the plane coming in at Yei. Thanks.

Basiri,

I very much enjoyed being with the Sudanese people in Yei. They were very warm and welcoming. Many of them have endured much hardship, but they are still generous and grateful. There is still work to be done toward restoration and understanding between the various tribes and areas of government. However, I feel that the Christians of the south are trying very hard to do their part to be hopeful and concentrate on re-building. I hope that we will be able to return to Yei and continue to build friendships with the people there.

James,
I am so thankful to hear from people who knew Yei before the war. You hold in your memory, like our friends in Yei, the vision for what Yei can recapture. We hope we can encourage that hope!

It fascinates when i hear and reflect about yei.personal born in yei and left so called half london when the war broke.Though the last time i saw yei was in 1989 it was more of a paradise than what i now dayz see on line.I dont give up about yei,the so called developed countries are the go’vt and indignant struggle,therefore the challenge lies on our hands to have yei transformed to its late 80s shape.The likes of ,hela leben,lomuku,luzura and particulaly ERAP which i grew up in.Therefore pictures should’nt destroy our hopes for our greenisn,hilly,flourishing south sudan,time will justify the end.
Though am residing in Botswana at moment my heart is back in sudan,as the say “East West home is the best”.
