Prelate Lokudu urges construction of decent houses in New Sudan (03/07/07)


Inaugurating St. Paul and Peter Chapel today, Catholic Archbishop Paulino Lokudu has urged all of the youth of New Sudan, especially those from the Jondoru area, to seriously take charge of constructing decent houses within their home stage.
 
 
"It was a move and a challenge by Jondoru community whom I had previously not taken seriously when they sought permission to construct a school, health center and a chapel for themselves. Today I must admit that I underrated them", confessed Archbishop Lokudu.

"The Tokiman communities are people who live to their words and I urge all communities in southern Sudan to emulate what Tokiman people have done in order to accelerate effective development" Archbishop Lokudu pleaded.

The prelate assured the community that a minor seminary will soon be constructed at Jondoru and thereafter the area will become a complete mission where there is a school, community health center, spiritual centre and a formation house of a minor seminary.

Tartizio Lado, Chairman of Tokiman primary school and of St. Paul and Peter Chapel said both school and chapel lack chairs for sitting. He appeals to any well wishers to come to their aid.

"Our children are looking for better education and the only way to support them was by mobilizing the entire community to build schools and health centre you are seeing today" remarked the community chairman.

It was the community who constructed the Tokiman primary school, about 8 km from Juba, for their children, Community Health center, spiritual chapel including house for their spiritual guidance, said Lado.

The Tokiman community primary school has so far four classes with six teachers out of which three are volunteers other three are paid by Central Equatoria state ministry of education who has failed to send any representative on this vital occasion. The school was opened in 2006.
