Kuot and Mabior,

Indeed, it is a final week and I can't imagine what would happen to this discussion board.

I  guess it would burn like fire on prairie.

More importantly, I urge everybody to have mainly topics that would re-charge and re-invigorate Aweil leadership capacity. Let's not be tempted to divert the chief purpose of the board to other unnecessary things. We have to make our future more realistically predictable by using our intellectual ability in a more constructive and mature manner. We have to focus on the issues that would give us a far_reaching effect and profound benefits in the near future.

We have to encourage the policy of hope, optimism, resiliency, courage, independence, recovery from anxiety and desperation, and equally important we must encourage the spirit of the team work in Aweil community. Let's not go astray again because that was the behavior which obliterated our community.  The leadership in Aweil has not been organized so well and that has consequently hit our vulnerable people with an unprecedented damage. Aweil community needs greater attention than anything else and I am glad some of our former leaders are realizing the need of this disasterous situation. We have necessary  instruments to combat each and every challenge in Aweil.

Aweil though I can't affirm is resilient because there is a glimpse of hope that it will  gradually recuperate. We are everything and therefore it is our responsibility to re-shape this comunity and change the course it is currentl taking. Our mission is to have clearer realistic ideas and policies that can in a tremendous magnitude give Aweil better benefit than harm.

Let's strive very hard so that the voiceless get voice and the visionless get vision.

Finally, I wish everybody excellent grades by the end of this semester.
