Watching a wonderful documentary about the Sudan.
While all is definitely not moonlight and roses, believe it or not, modest progress is being made through the efforts of the Church. In the remote Kareima Mountains of central Sudan, a new hospital has been opened. Schools have been opened that educate both boys and girls. Catechism is being taught. Mass is being celebrated. Wells have been dug for fresh, clean water supplies. In other words, healing work is being done as people return after all the long years of war.
But you know the best part? The hospital is mostly staffed by Africans familiar with the maladies prevalent in the region. The teachers and catechists? Also African. The priests and religious working in the area? African again. In other words, it is not "Oh, look at those wonderful white people helping those Africans." They are doing it for themselves. Very uplifting.
