Thank you to all of the wonderful people who supported our Bogan Bingo event on Saturday night the 13th of June. A special thanks to the individuals and businesses that donated items and services to our silent auctions and raffle for the night. Our profit for the evening was a total of $4,558

This money will go so far in helping us achieve our goal of building a school/orphanage for the children of Bor.

Feed the children!!

Please help us to feed the children!!

Some of our supporters have expressed interest in making a contribution to the cost of feed & so we have made provision in our online shop to do just that! A 50kg sack of grain costs the equivalent of $35.00 AU & will provide enough porridge for around 200 children per day. We recognise that $35.00 may be more than some people are able to contribute, so we are set up for people to contribute $5.00, $10.00, $20.00 if they so wish. We will provide a running tally on our fb page, so everyone will know how many sacks we have purchased.

Abraham Maluk has made the necessary purchases. ie. cooking pots, utensils & some 50 kg sacks of highly nutritious grain to make porridge to feed up to 200 children per day. He is in the process of selecting 4 local ladies to cook, clean and provide some basic care for the children & 2 men to provide security.

Let’s see how many sacks of 50kg grain we can purchase to help us get the feeding station running well! Our wonderful supporter, Jambo Mtoto has made a commitment to fund the feeding station operations, which will have a temporary base in Bortown, until such time as we feel it is safe to build a permanent structure. Please consider donating a small amount, so that we can purchase many, many sacks of grain. Your contribution, however small is lifesaving! Head on over to our online shop to make your donation today.

Adult’s & Children’s Stories

BOCEP — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:45:01 +0000

We are pleased to announce that our much anticipated second book, In My Kingdom, a collection of stories from South Sudanese parents living in Australia has now been published. This beautiful book follows on from our first book Donkeys Can’t Fly On Planes and is now available to purchase at a cost of $20.

“These stories are told with clarity and integrity. They encompass the trials and tribulations of contemporary Africa – the famines and poverty, the impact of war, the pain of loss and displacement – and include accounts of epic treks to a new life, and years endured in refugee camps. Yet in its colour and scope, and in its vibrant presentation, it is infused with a sense of hope and celebration. It is a wonderful reflection of what is best about contemporary multicultural Australia”. ~Arnold Zable~

If you would like your own copy of this beautiful book or our first book ‘Donkeys Can’t Fly On Planes’, please go to our on line shop to purchase through PayPal or contact us via email at info@bocep.org.au
