In mid-December 6 missioners from The Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska traveled to Companion Diocese Twic East in Jonglei State. We spent our time in Juba and Maar, Paliau and Wangulei inTwic East Diocese and traveled the entire time with Bishop Ezekiel and Dean Peter Adum Deng.

In Maar, we visited with many tribal leaders discussing the relative needs and assessed the future projects for the village area. Maar is the Diocesan headquarters and a new cathedral is presently under construction. One of our missioners is a nurse and provided medical assistance to the Maar villagers during our time there.

Maar also has a parish relationship with All Saints Episcopal Church in Omaha, Ne.
We distributed mosquito nets to villagers in Maar and Paliau and provided financial assistance to the villages of Maar and Wangulei.
We were able to see the new girls middle school in Wangulei which was financed by a U.T.O. grant applied for in 2009 by the Nebraska diocese.

Although we saw burned-out tukuls caused by cattle raiders on the road from Juba to Twic East and found that discouraging, all in all the trip was very successful and productive.
