Hello World!

Welcome to the Dinka Bor Foundation and browse one of the Africans Oral Societies of which very much of its rich and historical background is not written in books, electronic records, and Educational Aids in any curriculum. Search and learn about their Cultures and Traditions. Again, the foundation will voluntarily facilitates between those in diaspora and at home. However, it will encourage the young generation to involve in sharing the informtion in a modern technological manner. You can volunteer wherever you are by sharing all the important information you think is fact and accurate about the Dinka Bor Community. This site is going to help you, and your children to find the roots. Since the people of Sudan scatter across the Globe due to the Civil Wars, the latest technology makes it even more easier to the children and the adults to be able to connect, share their information and at the same time learn from it. Take it for learning and share the stories and it will help you in anyway. If you really want to learn more about the Dinka Bor People, ask a person you know and he/she will discuss with you where they are located in the geography of the Sudan. Since the Culture is based on oral and tangible things, here are some of the examples of three things:- Food, Music and the Language, the Dinka Bor People have their own like other people in the World.

The older generation of men and women are the history to be told and the future are the children who are learnig the stories of their great and grandfathers. Besides the stories of Civil Wars in Sudan, this foundation would like to bring in the process of healing by telling the rich and untold stories of the Dinka Bor Community. However, if you want to participate in the civil activities and would really like to be a civil servant by serving the people of this foundation, do so and find the area of your interest. Either you want to be in health field, teaching or religious ministry as an example, then contact the people you know those are within the same field with you and they will be able to assist you in anyway
Things change such as names of places, the dialects and the sections and that is part of the learning process of the Foundation to keep track of the events that fit within the Dinka Bor Community and its surroundings. However, any additional change that benefits the Community is welcome. In many years, there were shrines and traditional healers and many are disappearing and merge to the modern.
Bor society is the one of the Nilotic-Speaking groups in southern Sudan. The Sub-Dinka tribe of the Sudan is believed to cover vast areas of upper Nile region.
The Bor Dinka people manage their economic life style by growing a variety of agricultural crops, raising great numbers of livestock, fishing, hunting, and gathering wild fruits when necessary. They have gorgeous fertile soil and this helps them grow enough food for consumption and keep surplus for sale.
The area is blessed with plenty of rainfall throughout the entire year. At the time of harvesting, they always have good harvests and are able to keep vast amounts in their stores for the next seasons. The Nile River offers a good source of fish and fresh water for domestic use. This survival mechanism is simple and manageable .
Their belief system is similar to the western world. They love and worship God. Their respect of others' customs and beliefs is what makes Dinka Bor unique among other communities in the world. Their values, customs, and taboos are just phenomenal. They have fantastic judicial systems where civil and criminal trials are held. When the "Bor Massacre" took place, their cultural heritage, social structure, and the will to survive, were destroyed by the genocidal activities; and thousands of women, men and children were confirmed dead.
It was a horrible and inhumane way of dealing with culprits. In the Bor area today, there are thousands of children, boys and girls who have been orphaned as their parents were murdered because of their religious faith. These children, widows, and widowers had no future. The area had never experienced the availability of health facilities, learning institutions, roads, electricity, modern water system and other essentials.
