About Bor Globe Network

The Bor Globe Network (BGN) is a not- for-profit and non-governmental organization geared to establishing media presence in Bor area. BGN is not in anyway affiliated with any political organization within and out side Southern Sudan rather, it would work together with the local administration in Bor, South Sudan.

With many years of unrecorded history, Bor Globe Network's mission is to take major role in the retrieval of the historical past records of the Borland and its people that had gone without having been, in any form, recorded for use by the present generation or the generation to come. As its name suggests, BGN is also determined to set a stage in serving as a networking center for the Bor people in Sudan and the Diaspora. The continuous lack of media to expose situations such as a large scale starvation that has predominantly ravaged the region for years needs to be made known to the sons and daughters of the Bor Community in Diaspora. This is not say that it never gets exposed but whatever the situation is, it reaches people at a later phase which normally means after the destruction.

 
Our mission statement

Bor Globe Network mission is to retrieve and establish a role of putting the past and the presence into perspectives of documentation and serve as a networking platform for people of Borland within Bor and those displaced as a result of the civil war in the region into other parts of the globe – generally, those in the Diaspora.

Goals

Although Bor Globe Network is determined to take a lead in raising an eye on other areas of greater concern, Bor Globe Network (BGN) has three main goals for which its efforts is primarily focused on. It aims at:-

• Retrieving and establishing historical recordings that are wholly or partially related to Bor. We've no documented record of our community from the past to the present and Bor Globe Network is determined to bridging the gap from the past to the present by initiating a resolution that would launch a team of researchers - mainly college and University students and professors who are sons and daughters of Bor and their friends with an interest of being part and parcel of the mission. The role of this team will be to conduct extensive researches and surveys on all possible social, political and economic moves that people of Bor have had gone through during the years that preceded the British colonialism in Sudan, events which occurred right after the independence to the Anya Anya movement, the Addis Ababa Agreement and the SPLA to the present day.
  
  
• It stablishes journalistic bases that will represent and report latest news from Bor area and other parts of Southern Sudan for all members of Bor community around the globe. As we all know, Bor citizens are dispersed almost into every continent and most of them depend on the Internet as the convenient source of getting the latest news and information from Bor and Southern Sudan at large. By setting up our own bases, we would be getting much reliable, dependable and most importantly credible newsfeed from our homeland on BGN's official website (Borglobe.com).
  
  
• Acting as a platform where Bor citizens would share and discuss their diverse views on social, political and economic issues. By looking into different views that different people have and place yourself into it, you're, in most instances, likely to make a well-informed decision on any given issue.

Headquarters/Bases

BGN is based in United States of America with member representatives across the globe - mainly North America and Australia. We're working to open major areas of operation in South Sudan, particularly in Bor. Also, another place of importance would be South Sudan’s capital, Juba. This may take some times as the preparation goes on but it surely will operate.

Fundraisings/sources of funding

Because Bor Globe is a community-based organization, its financial support should primarily come from three main sources:

• Contributions from dedicated members within the Bor Community.
• It might be voluntary support from friends of the Bor Community. This can be individual or organizational.

Awareness campaign

It's a role expected of every volunteering member to make the BGN message heard; either from within and outside South Sudan. The BGN Executive Board will be organizing series of conferences calling upon every interested member to become part of Bor Globe Network Mission Outreach Campaign (BGNMOC). This can be reinforced by the fundraisings calls detailed above.
