From our beginnings in Thailand, JRS has placed education at the forefront <strong>of</strong> our<br />
services. “In Maban (South Sudan), JRS educational and psychosocial activities<br />
serve both Christians and Muslims alike, <strong>with</strong>out discrimination. When I visit the<br />
JRS nursery school or English or teacher training (right) classes, and realize that<br />
both Christians and Muslims are seated side by side, learning together, I am filled<br />
<strong>with</strong> hope. A brighter future is possible,” says JRS Maban project director Fr. Pau<br />
Vidal S.J. (Angela Wells — JRS Eastern Africa)<br />
Before setting <strong>of</strong>f to work<br />
<strong>with</strong> refugees, Fr. Pierre<br />
Ceyrac S.J. turned to Fr.<br />
Arrupe for confirmation.<br />
“Of course, go!” was the<br />
immediate reply.<br />
Fr. Ceyrac then taught at<br />
refugee camps in Thailand<br />
for 12 years.<br />
