The VOC project has gone through four consecutive phases and is heading into the fifth phase in South Sudan and the western Gambella region of Ethiopia. It is an essential project that has met the real needs of the destitute and poor people. \u201cThe project has relieved many from the agonies and mitigated their sufferings. It has also gone further by changing and transforming people\u2019s lives and shaping their future destinies. The project has trained more than eighty widows and guardians in various skills, which has enabled most of them to live in self reliance. There are more than forty children\u00a0with various chronic diseases that were\u00a0cured by this project. There are also more\u00a0than fifty orphans and disabled children\u00a0who were sponsored by the VOC in various\u00a0levels of schools where they are studying.\u201cWe are grateful for your partnership!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Vulnerable and Orphaned Children project in South Sudan, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/relief\/projects\/cd\/sudan-vulnerable-children\/\">CovChurch.org\/cwr<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/cwr?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=6250&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is a note of gratitude sent from Matthew, the project coordinator for the Vulnerable and Orphaned Children (VOC) project in South Sudan. \u201cWe are very grateful to work in partnership with CWR while serving the poor and the marginalized people in the kingdom of God.
