May 10, 2015 (Nyamilepedia): People fund-raise for various reasons but most of them agree on raising fund to support a cause that inspired them. Likewise the board of Bentiu community in Egypt was convinced by the fact that the community members are in desperate need of financial and social support, especially after the outbreak of December 15/2013 South Sudan’s conflict.

In many other countries where there is peace, community members pay sufficient amount of money as their monthly contribution to support the community projects, but in the third world countries in which the state of South Sudan belongs, people expect to receive more than they give to their community’s body due to their scarce income (poverty).

Base on that very reason, we the administration of Bentiu community association in Egypt thought of finding a solution to these crises and that is when we came up with the idea of creating Lich Reserve Ration and Lich Students Aid-box.

Lich Reserve Ration is a fortune reserve to supply families that are facing delay or shortage of;

  1. Monthly house rent
  2. Emergency medical treatment expenses
  3. And other expenses

Lich Students Aid-Box focuses on students’ inquiries such as;

  1. Institutional tuition fees
  2. And other special concerns.

This particular Aid-box may expand depending on the available amount of money it has.

Before extending to Lich fundraising report’s details, Bentiu community executive committee would kindly like to convey sincere gratitude to Rev. Simon Tor Jal, who grants his prayer hall for the community fundraising campaign. Thank you very much for making the Lich fundraising campaign possible.

Lich fundraising Campaign took place on Friday, April 10th /2015 at 2:00 pm at Saint Andrews Church.

No good.I will never ever do such a work for my county unless with NGO.Those people who are doing Lich Fundraising campaign in Egypt are in danger because there are people among them in Egypt who gain nothing and also among SPLM-IO who will dislike them if they side only with Riek Machar and his big groups.I remembered there were a small group who were doing fundraising campaign somewhere,but they later give up because of fear of being attacked by those of SPLM.
