The backpack project is only the beginning of our long-term relationship with Southern Sudan. The boarding school demonstrates a sustained commitment to educating the people of Southern Sudan and the school will eventually be operated by local Sudanese administrators and teachers. We will also establish internship programs with universities in the US to provide opportunities for students to gain international and cross-cultural experience. Additionally, our education campaign in the United States will create “sister communities” linking the people of both countries for the purpose of cross-cultural support, education, and solidarity. Accountability Reporting We will report about our projects informally and formally. We will provide quarterly newsletters to everyone on our mailing list detailing our recent accomplishments, supplies received, and information gathered. Formally, we will generate reports accounting for supplies, monetary donations, and other donations received and a detailed description of how the donations are distributed. Distribution We will use proven methods and trusted contacts for distributing donated supplies to Southern Sudan. We are working with several organizations who have verified the trustworthiness and effectiveness of these distribution channels.
