NEWS CONFERENCE

Subject: Announcement for extension of Greater Tonj community conference to Nov 15th

Dear sons and daughters of Tonj,

On behalf of community leadership council for Greater Tonj and on behalf of Technical organizing committee for Greater Tonj community conference, I would to like to take this honorable opportunity to express my special gratitude and appreciation to all sons and daughters of Tonj for their effective and efficient contributions they have done in mobilizing financial resources. This intended conference will be a reality instead of a dream. Congratulation to all of us sons and daughters of Tonj for the job well done! The organizing committee has paid a nice trip to Juba and met with Juba sub- committee members and we were honestly briefed about their contributions and we have appreciated it. About the sum of (250,773) SSP has been contributed so far from the following places Kuajok, Wau, Tonj and Juba. The details of the contributions will be revealed during the conference.

The conference was scheduled to kick off on the 15th to 20th Oct 2014, of this current month but it is interrupted by some logistical arrangements. Thus, I would like to bring it to an attention of all sons and daughters of Greater Tonj that, Tonj community conference has been adjourned to take place on the 15th to 20th Nov. 2014 due to the following reasons:-

  1. The ground preparation is still on process in term of:-
  2. Site preparation and general cleaning
  3. Purchasing of food and non- food items like: chairs, mattresses, beds, foodstuff, bed-sheets other related accommodation facilities
  4. Renovating of VIP accommodation house
  5. Booking of hotels for other important invited guests
  6. Contributions were collected lately starting 18th of last month to the present. This is made it difficult for the Technical organizing committee to purchase require items on time.
  7. Roads to counties are not accessible to reach the targeted participants for the conference like chiefs, cattle leaders, goal- leaders, spear-masters and civil society organizations.
  8. Members of national legislative Assembly are not on recess and it should be difficult to start the conference without their present.

Ladies and gentlemen,

With the few reasons mentioned above, I hope you will bear with us and the conference rescheduled to commence on the 15th of Nov and be concluded on the 20th Nov. 2014, and all are still invited. Once again the conference will only dwell to focus on the blow agenda:-

  1. Building mutual understanding towards achieving sustainable peace and unity in the region.
  2. Addressing insecurity related issues internally and externally
  3. Socio- economic development activities, cultural and social welfare of Tonj people.
  4. Community developmental projects and developmental programs like:-
  5. Establishment of quality education in the region
  6. Provision of health facilities in the region
  7. Improving poor infrastructure in the area
  8. Sensitizing community on food security and their livelihood
  9. Other important matters.

This is for your information and I wish all sons and daughters of Tonj good and shower of blessing from almighty father so that we meet each other in comfort.

Warm regards,

……………………………………………
