Shimal Halanga Centre The pastoral-centre of Shimal Halanga is about 3km north from the Good Shepherd Parish in Kassala. Since 1992, many displaced people coming from South-Sudan have lived in the settlement-area of Shimal Halanga. Fr. Ghebrai estimates the number of the now here living families at 200-300, what corresponds to a number of 1200 to 1500 inhabitants. Through the expansion of the city many families have been forced by the authorities to leave the settlement-area. They change to Wau Nur or leave Kassala at all. Some time ago there were many believers in Shimal Halanga , now the families due to the swift growth of the city move away to Wau Nur. About 10 families still gather round the centre of Shimal Halanga. They live near the pastoral-centre. Formerly Moses the catechist lived inside the pastoral-building with his family. However the roof of the meeting-centre collapsed because it was dilapidated. The house stands empty since that time and is used only for the purpose of meeting of the faithful of this area and for religious further education. It should be repaired soon, otherwise the showers of the rainy season make the damages irreparable. In the centre no masses are celebrated. The faithful move by taxi to Good Shepherd Parish to attend the service. Erneo Mohammed lives with his family here. He has 11 children and is the chairman of the parish council since seven years. Since 2002, more and more young men moved into the environment of Shimal Halanga from the regions around El Gedaref and Port Sudan in order to work in the local brick-factory. Their residential-area looks like a military hiding place with trenches, and they called it Kandahar after that city in Afghanistan where the Taliban were expelled by the Americans at the time of the foundation of this settlement. While the previously mentioned families live around the centre, the factory workers live in 1 km distance to the pastoral-centre. The number of the here living workers is about 50. Each of them has a wood-grass-cottage. However, that is only temporary since all of them would like to build a better house. Partially these factory workers have already established families. 8 www.prosudan.at The people have a very good community among each other here. They meet in the pastoral-centre to for religious instruction. To the church services in the centre they move by rent-cars - like the families, who live around the centre. Their aim is to reactivate the dilapidated centre and then to organize a church service there every Friday and Sunday. Below a calculation of the costs of the
