Congo refugees in South Sudan
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadSister Celine Tremblay, a Canadian member of the Daughters of Providence, greets a small boy in the Makpandu refugee camp, a ramshackle collection of huts with mud walls and thatched roofs spread through a remote section of forest 40 kilometers from Yambio, the capital of Western Equatoria State in South Sudan. As many as 3,000 people live in the camp, having fled the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2008 when the Lord's Resistance Army started a murderous rampage through the area. Sister Tremblay works in the camp as a member of Solidarity with South Sudan, a pastoral and teaching presence of Catholic priests, sisters and brothers from around the world.
