2007: JumpStart Sudan helps
Akon build clinic
Generous contributions from donors in the U.S. and Sudan enabled
construction to begin in January 2007 on the Samuel Brownback
Primary Health Care Unit in
Akon, Sudan. Robert Otengo, the architect who drew the clinic blueprints, served as
Project Manager. Bol Arec, former JSS board member, served as liaison between JSS,
Otengo and the community during the construction phase. The
project provided some employment for a few members of the community.
Others contributed by making 20,000 bricks.
The clinic design includes an examining room, a small laboratory, a
pharmacy, an injection room, a doctor's office, restroom and a large
open-air room for education purposes. This room serves as a
place for people to receive training to become health care workers
and a setting for general preventive education and Bible training.
By June 2007, the first patients were being treated in the
clinic. The plumbing and electrical were left unfinished until
further funds could be raised. |
