Update from Aug. 8, 2024

Greetings from Juba,

A month ago today, we were able to bury Machol in his father's village. We also held a prayer service two days prior. Here is the link:

There are many more photos and videos to share but, as you can imagine, it is very overwhelming. We'd like to thank you again for your support and prayers. You have made this journey more bearable and for that we are truly grateful.
Sincerely,

Saree Mading
