Water- we ALL need it.
During the Holiday season I am constantly reminded of how lucky I am...how lucky a lot of us are. The simple things like water, a bed to sleep in, coffee in the morning... etc..simple things. Water is so important-clean water, drinkable water. My uncle who is heavily involved in chartiy work for CASS (Canadian Aid for Suthern Sudan) has made me realize even more how many people in the world are without drinkable water; Not only this, but also having no knowledge of how to make the resources around them safe for consumption. I hope to get more involved with this charity over the next couple months and hope to raise awareness about this issue with the individuals my age. I have pasted some background history CASS as well as "The Water Sch2ool" (that wasn't a typo either lol). I hope you all look into this cause and I urge you to spread the word.
HISTORY OF SUDAN
The modern history of Sudan has been marked by bloodshed and political instability. In 1874, the Egyptians completed a 50-year campaign to bring the nomads of the area under their control. In 1881, Muhammad Ahmad, known as the Mahdi, led a successful Muslim separatist uprising. His forces trapped legendary British general Charles Gordon in the capital, Khartoum, in 1884. Commanders of a British relief force appealed to Canada for boatmen to help transport their army up the Nile, and 386 Canadian volunteers took part in Canada's first overseas military action. But that expedition was unsuccessful — two days before its arrival at Khartoum, Gordon was killed when the Sudanese captured the city.
The Mahdi was finally overthrown in 1899 by another Anglo-Egyptian army. Britain, in partnership with Egypt, then ruled Sudan for the first half of the 20th century. In 1956 the independent Republic of the Sudan was proclaimed. Since then, Sudan has been buffeted by unrest. Attempts by the country's Muslim majority to subjugate the non-Muslim population of the south have resulted in civil conflict — from 1963 to 1971, and from the mid-1980s to the present.
The number one challenge presently facing Sudan is finding a sustainable peace. Yet leaders from both sides of the conflict state that the key requirement for a prosperous future in Sudan is education for its children. It is for this reason that Canadian Aid for Southern Sudan has been asked to assist in the building of schools in the south of Sudan. Now with peace signed between north and south Sudan the opportunities have never been better - or more challenging.
