On 15th of March 2012, 10 members from Kingdom Assignment Sudan (KAS Charity) arrived in Tonj South Sudan via Charter Flight. After the initial “culture shock” and adjustment to the weather the team got to work on the main purposes for the visit. Firstly assisting IDAT staff in the running of the medical clinic and pharmacy, secondly furthering the progress of the medical clinic build in Malony village and lastly spending time teaching 13 pastors.
Although the visit to Tonj was only a relatively short trip a lot was achieved and great progress has been made on all fronts.
The medical staff were able to spend a lot of time learning from each other and also give several members of the IDAT team some much deserved rest…
Roger the KAS chairman was able to spend a lot of time in and out of the classroom with the 13 pastors teaching…
All the other KAS members were kept busy helping in the clinic, pharmacy and doing other jobs including driving the ambulance to collect patients and other minor maintenance jobs.
Several KAS members spent time focusing on the build of the medical clinic in Malony and for that the trip has been a huge success! A builder was located and secured and after several days of negotiating he and his staff are now on site and are going full steam ahead. Large amounts of materials have also been delivered to the Malony site which proved to be a difficult task.
All in all the trip for KAS members has been a huge blessing. To see the work that IDAT is doing for the community and to be able to assist in that has been an amazing experience. All members of the team stayed within the ‘In Deed and Truth’ compound and were very grateful to all the IDAT staff for their warm welcome and Hospitality it truly has been a life changing experience!
