 First here's a quick briefing note  from Sonja about the visit:
 
​" We are back and full of the enormity of our trip to Yida and South Sudan.
There is much to share .... about our interactions with the youth and staff of Green Kordofan. 
​The staffs are extra special people who have dedicated themselves to this project and to improving the quality of the lives of the children in Yida.
David, Noura, Issac, Zaki and Uncle Yousif and of course Alhadi in Juba are doing a fantastic job!".
