Hope With Sudan

For the past several years St. Stephen’s has  been supporting the education of the son of a key priest in the Diocese of Bor, Sudan.

Simon Mark T., son of Canon Mark Atem T.,  is finishing his 8th grade at a boarding school in Nairobi, Kenya.  Because there are no schools in Sudan due to the civil war, those who can find schooling in Kenya and Uganda are blessed.  Simon was born in a refugee camp where he had a year or so of school.  However for three years he and his siblings just sat at home because they had been forced to move.

One of the brightest students in his class, Simon is thriving in classes in English and Kitswali, Science Geography and Math, History and Social Sciences. He wants to become a doctor.
