During the past thirty years Sudan has been isolated from the international community and has lived under a cloak of extreme violence. The genocide against the people of Darfur, which was in the Western public eye for a while, has until now resulted in 300.000 people losing their lives and around three million people fleeing the area. Until this day many of them are living in refugee camps in dire conditions. The South of Sudan, as a result of the conflict between the Sudanese army and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), declared independence from the North in 2011. The regime lead by Al Bashir, who recently was forced out of his position, has divided the country over its religious differences, tribal disputes and through racial discrimination.
Abdelrahman and his family lived in the conditions created by this regime. They experienced first-hand, within their hometown, how people were captured and killed, merely because of the tribe they belonged to. They witnessed how the government deprived its citizens of food, electricity and water, and how people were uprooted from their villages. On June 7, they will share their personal story.

Climate change is a reality that is knocking on our front door. More and more people are starting to realize that the earth’s climate is changing and patterns in nature and weather are different from what they were before with disastrous outcomes. Although many people rise up asking for awareness, like the School Strike for Climate Movement, most of us who want to take action are wondering how to do it. Kirsten van Reisen also asked herself this question and found a way to contribute. She decided to work for an organization that restores degraded lands to ecological health and vitality again. On May 29, she will share her personal story of volunteering for this organization called Ecosystem Restoration Camps (ERC).
