  • William Orach announces the availability of medical care in Nimule, South Sudan, near that country's border with Uganda. Orach is a community mobilizer for a mobile clinic run by Caritas of the Diocese of Torit. The mobile clinic was launched in January 2014 shortly after war broke out within South Sudan, and thousands of families arrived in this area from Bor, in Jonglei State. Yet many have not been warmly welcomed to this region of Eastern Equatoria State, where two earlier waves of displaced people in the 1980s and 1990s left relations tense between the newcomers, who are Dinka, and the largely Ma'adi residents around the city of Nimule. The ACT Alliance is helping the displaced families and the host communities affected by their presence, and is supporting efforts to reconcile the two groups. The ACT Alliance also supports the Caritas mobile clinic, which provides medical care--often under a tree--both to displaced families as well as to poor residents of the host communities.

  • Dawn Gustafson, from Vail, Arizona, treats the foot of a Mexican migrant who was captured by the U.S. Border Patrol in southern Arizona and deported back across the border to Nogales, Mexico, where he sought help from the Catholic-sponsored Kino Border Project. Gustafson, a member of the Green Valley Samaritans, volunteers at the Project's Comedor, where deported migrants receive food, clothing and medical care. Much of the medical care provided in the center is to migrants' feet, which are often left blistered and wounded by the long and dangerous desert trek. Gustafson is a member of the Good Shepherd United Church of Christ in Sahuarita, Arizona.
