  • Two students walk together at the Loreto Girls Secondary School in Rumbek, South Sudan. The school is run by the Institute for the Blessed Virgin Mary--the Loreto Sisters--of Ireland. <br />
<br />
The school implements an extended family system where first year students are considered the "daughters" of second year students, who are considered "mothers." Third year students are "grandmothers,"  and fourth year students are "great grandmothers." Initiation into the school and a lot of discipline are handled through this "family"  system.

  • Sister Anahid, a member of the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena, shepherds students into a classroom in a primary school she supervises in Dohuk, Iraq. Most of the students were displaced from their home villages when the Islamic State group took over portions of the Nineveh Plains in 2014. Because they came from communities with Arabic curriculum schools, they often don't fit well in schools in the villages where they resettled, because those schools teach in Kurdish or Assyrian. So the religious order started the school, which has students from several faiths, including Islam and Christianity. The Christian Aid Program Nohadra - Iraq (CAPNI) provides transportation for many students to Dohuk from the rural villages where their families have taken refuge.

  • Students from the University of Mosul’s arts faculty play ISIS combatants during a play presented November 30, 2018, at a book festival in Mosul, Iraq. Except for one piano and one book, the arts faculty was demolished by ISIS after it took Mosul in 2014. Once the city was liberated in 2017, students and professors cleared the rubble themselves in order to resume classes. The play focused on how poetry and the arts were curtailed under ISIS control but have flourished in recent months.

  • A student leads fellow students in prayer at the beginning of class in the Caritas-supported St. Daniel Comboni School in Agok, South Sudan, where tens of thousands of residents of Abyei, a contested region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan, remain displaced. Under a 2005 peace agreement, Abyei was supposed to have a referendum to decide which country it would join, but the two countries have yet to agree on who can vote. In 2011, militias aligned with Khartoum drove out most of Abyei's Dinka Ngok residents, pushing them across a river into the town of Agok. More than 40,000 Dinka Ngok have since returned to Abyei with support from Caritas South Sudan, which has drilled wells, built houses, opened clinics and provided seeds and tools for the returnees. Yet continuing insecurity means a greater number remain in Agok, where they remain dependant on Caritas and other organizations for food and other support.
