Canberra is the capital city of Australia.
There is a small South Sudanese community in Canberra, Australia. It is formed mainly of a Nilotic people, the Dinka tribe, who were based originally in Jonglei State, near the town of Bor. They all came to Australia, and Canberra, as refugees.
These Dinka are Anglican Christians, and have been based in two churches, one on the South side and another on the North side of the lake which divides Canberra.
Almost all Dinka resident in Canberra still have friends and family left behind in South Sudan, and in refugee camps in Kenya and Uganda. Many have had family members killed.
(Not all Dinkas in Canberra are 'Dinka Bor').
A group of friends in Canberra have decided to support some residents of the Nyumanzi Refugee camps, in Northwestern Uganda, financially at first, perhaps in other ways later. We have set up a bank account to manage and document donations. Anyone willing to donate should contact john[dot]symond[at]me[dot]com
