Brownback Clinic is serving patients!

Over the past two years, JumpStart Sudan worked with the community of Akon, Sudan to make the Samuel Brownback Clinic a reality.  It has already been put to good use while still awaiting electrical and water hookup.  The construction of this facility was made possible by the contributions of many donors, but the ground was broken in January 2007 only after the last $50,000 needed came in at the eleventh hour from a single unsolicited anonymous source.

Mission Trips 2008

Chris "Koor" Garang, who was JSS Arizona Representative from 2007 to 2008, traveled to Akon again to work in the clinic and to help assess the people's health needs.  JSS President Debra Ross visited the clinic this spring while Chris was working alongside local health care workers and met with staff from the Ministry of Health and local leaders to discuss how the clinic can grow in its capacity to serve the community.

Container Shipment Headed to Sudan

Additional building supplies, office furniture, medicine, medical equipment and supplies and educational materials are on their way in a container being shipped to Sudan. Most of the goods were donated including $1,500 worth of textbooks and religious materials purchased with a gift card from another anonymous donor.
