Welcome aboard Garang Tong, you will no doubt make great contributor here. I read a post by you under one of the topics on this board where you were asking people to go to school. That is a solid point, we have got to study if Mading Aweil is to have a voice in South Sudan where domination is the norm. At the same time, our arguments here put what we study in class into perspective. It is advisable that those who are lucky to go to school should not just be contended with being in the classs, they have got to come out and join their bro/sis on boards like this for their practice. Practice makes perfect remember? Any way we look forward to debating issues with you. Take care.
Like Kuot Kuot, I also welcome you to the board. There is nothing more important than being in touch with your colleagues/friends. The great men and women of your city (Aweil) are all here. Feel free to join them and work together with them. They are tremendously happy about getting to know everyone well-being and whereabouts through this website. It is therefore a great opportunity for Aweil people to engage themselves on major issues that can profoundly alleviate this desperation and anxiety.
Further, I appreciate you for coming up with the issue of marriage and education. They are powerful social issues that need a greater attention and discussion.
We will meet this weekend and I hope you will get satisfactory answers for your biggest concerns: marriage and education.

I would like to thank you all for your contibutions that's you've already to contibuted on the Madingaweil discussion board. And continuously still to be agreat contibutors. I myself I a member of this board I contibuted once or twice and disappeared. I would tell why I disapperaed. Before I actually registered on this board about few Months ago, I used to read over the posts that have been board casting by the active members before I. I were very motivated to joined the board shortly after my few visists to become a member of the Madingaweil discussion board. I did that not because I were a citizens of Aweil as I'm. But because I felt it's was agreat opportunity for those of us who are young and also those who are still young on their harts to be able to share together in commons. Not only that we can equally share what every in our minds or what each and evry once of us believes. I thought very accurately that's we those of who are young and last fortunate will learn a lots from each others and particularly from our elders and those who are already advanced than us.
But, as far as I been visited the board I saw and learn about the attitudes growing of the members who went out of point of been more reponsively and began to board casted some dialogues about the tribalism talking about who is better than who and that's why we're still in struggle now in Southern Sudan. It's because we do not have unity among us as brothers and sisters to respect each other and have one believe and one commont sense. Divide will not take us no where, but unity can take us some where.
The reason I board cast with you today is bcause I saw those brothers who were trying to make confession on this board cool down. I didn't really I appreciated the dialogue that they were using on this board at all and I believe you too didn't appreciated. Lets us be peacfully to each other and be perfect people. I'm not saying you can debate what you thinks is wrong, but you need to make sure that you're not bringing up a topic that's members won't appreciated.
Garang Tong it is now clear, I think there is nothing wrong with paying doweries when it come to marraige issues. our norms is one of the most sensitives and akward culture in the entire world. it is only wrong when people misuse the way its suppose to be such as invasting one million on one girl rather than invasting them on ten childern at school. furthermore I am glad we don't have the above exploitation which is good. we never know things might change in the nearest future mean while we are looking for some ways to stop such sensitive culture. me personally I don't like the ideas of putting girls into markets ground for more money or doweries. I think our generation is not going to change it immediately but step by step until every body get the word. your topic is very interesting topic, I hope a lot of people will share their thoughts on it.
