His Grace would like to specifically request:

  1. The Diocese of Missouri and St. Luke's Hospital to look very carefully at the situation in Lui Hospital and to take his appeal for assistance very seriously.
  2. The Salisbury Diocese Sudan Medical Link to do the same.
  3. Those of you with access to your organisations' websites to upload as much of this material as possible to promote the situation in Sudan as widely as possible. If you do not have access to your organisations' websites, please pass this information on to those who do.
  4. Any organisations interested in assisting peace-building activities or agriculture projects in Southern Sudan to get in touch after reading the report.
  5. If any organisation can support the Office of the Archbishop's transport needs in the future to get in touch. Specifically the Archbishop requires a vehicle for his personal use for future visits of this nature, in particular for a tour of all of Bahr El-Ghazal cluster of dioceses sometime in 2009.
  6. Constant prayer from all partners and friends for the work of the ECS across Sudan.
