“I’m very pleased about our independence. My future hopes and dreams are that I want my children to be educated. I’d like them to have a plot of land -- and one day I hope that Patricia will even become the President as well as get married!"
- Cecelia Achiro, holding her baby daughter Patricia. As South Sudan prepared to celebrate its independence from Sudan this summer, Cecelia and other International Rescue Committee staff members working in Juba -- the new capital -- shared their hopes for a peaceful beginning for the fledgling nation and a promising future for their children.
