Wenyen Gabriel is a class act. A lot of people don’t realize how much he has done for his country. He never had a huge contract but still was willing to build schools, basketball courts, and more for his country. Very selfless of him!

Sometimes you win by losing. South Sudan is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. They are some of the most resilient courageous people ever.
It's no wonder they fought their way to their own country. They didn't want to adopt Islam and live under Sharia Law and resisted years of genocide and even slavery to be free from religious tyranny.
No indoor courts....Just think what they can do with
This David almost slew Goliath so the world is definitely putting respect on the country of South Sudan and the Southern Sudanese people in general. Salutes and Hugs.
