The only thing you sometimes have control over is your perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.

As the one-year mark of the conflict in Sudan approached, the Sudan Humanitarian Response Plan was only 5.8% funded. Reports from the Paris conference show pledges exceeding €2 billion. We call for the immediate fulfilment of the pledges to support life-saving interventions.
