Wau Nur Centre This is the biggest centre. Most o of the faithful live in Wau Nur. According to their standard of life they prefer to live out side of the city, because it is easy to make a house by grass and wood. If they stay in the city, they have to rent house, which is according to their living standard very difficult. In the centre we have 300 families. Many of them have no work, so their living standard is very low. The majority of the men are soldiers. In order to bring up their children many women produce local beer, but with a great risk: According to Sharia law alcohol is forbidden and so it is not allowed to make local beer. Many times the police takes the women with all their materials to the police station to be imprisoned almost for three to five months. Hai El Areb Centre In the Hai El Areb Centre the faithful are 95 families. We have one part-time catechist. As I explained above, the living standard of the faithful is very low. The centre is 8km far westward from the parish. Aroma Centre Aroma is 60km outside from Kassala on the way to Port Sudan. Most of the faithful are Soldiers. They are 40 families. We have one part-time Catechist who does twice a month pastoral activities. We don’t have a building in the centre, because we didn’t get a permission to build some. Now we are on the way to to be given the permission to build a house. Shimal Halanga Centre Since 1992 many displaced families were in the Shimal Halanga Centre: Through the expansion of the city all the faithful leave the place. They change to Wau Nur Centre and some of them go to dislocated Centres. This centre is in a distance 3km north from the parish. Wad Sherife Centre. Wad Sherife is a big refugee Camp of Eritreans and Ethiopians. There are 30,000 refugees, who are under the assistance of the UNHCR.The Catholic families around the camp are 165. Since 1997 the catholic families were about 300. The centre is in 25km distance North-East from Kassala. The living standard of the refugees is very poor. Always they attend their ration which they receive every three months from the UNHCR. But, with this ration they can not raise their children in a sufficient way. The Catholic Church opens the school since 1983 in the camp. For the pastoral service we did our best: weekly holy mass, twice a month catechetical service. The problem of the Parish: Financial need and economical poverty of the faithful. As we explained above the Capuchin friary takes the responsibility to open intermediate and senior school, since 1977, for the Eritrean rand Ethiopian refugees. At present it hosts 1200 students. It is a school which gives equal opportunities to both Christian and Muslim children. For this reason it is kept in high esteem by both Christians and Muslims. Our main objective 3 www.prosudan.at
