Movement in and out of certain camps in Juba is heavily restricted. This means individuals living inside camps are unable to form connections and relationships with people living outside of their camps. This essentially cuts people off from the rest of society and restricts inter-communal relationships.

IDO believes that the more interactions between people staying either side of camp walls and the more friendships that cross ethnic lines, the greater the chance for people to live together in peace.

Here are some of the letters:

‘Dear Wel, Thank you for being a part of us in this project. I did really know that we became a friend. And thank you so much for this project, it really makes us to be friends. My message to you is: let us keep connecting. Even if this project end, our friendship will not end. Our parents and communities, let them know we are a friend. Thank you very much. My name is Rebecca. “

“Dear Sebit. I thank you very much for being together. I want you to share your love with all people in your community. I want peace in South Sudan. I need love in South Sudan through all members of the group, then I will have peace. I thank you a lot for connecting with us.”
