Emergency in Sudan

Guet Garang, 22 year old wife of James Atem Tuor of San José has been abducted in Juba, Southern Sudan. She has been living with her mother and a sister in an apartment which James Atem provides for them in Nakuru, Kenya and had gone a week ago to visit another sister in Juba. On Tuesday, five days later she disappeared, presumably abducted after she left the home.

Obviously, James Atem is terribly distraught. We are in the process of booking a ticket for him to fly to Juba as soon as possible so that he can be closer to the search efforts. His uncle is a commander of the Sudanese People Liberation Army and holding the office of retirement personnel. He is heading up the search process

Please keep Guet and her safety and James Atem and their family in your prayers.

We are seeking any contributions to cover the $1650 round trip airfare to Nairobi and the $700 round trip airfare from their to Juba.

Please send donations to
