During the week of the 4th July to the 9th July we are excited to be launching our very own 'Celebrate South Sudan' Week – a week-long online campaign to share and enjoy all the things that are great about South Sudan.

Our online blog will be showcasing exclusive pictures, videos, and facts about the soon-to-be newest country on earth.

There is also the chance to win a personalised signed copy of Emmanuel Jals' autobiography 'WarChild'.
