Nuer Community State Chapter of Portland, Maine.

Sub: Massege to NCDS Head Office

My name is Chan Dak Lham Thiech, Chairman of South Sudan Nuer Community in Portland, Maine. I am very interested for upcoming meeting this month, but I won't make it there to Omaha because I don't have much time to return to school, besides; I don't have a vacation from my jobs. I really want to go but I can't make this time,and Please Komach, the webmaster, post my massege to all Nuer members on the website so that everyone can read it.

Massege to Nuer Conference by Chan Dak Lham, Chairman of South Sudan Nuer Community in Portland, Maine.

Background of Porland, Maine, Please read and learn about Portland, Maine

Portland is Maine's business, financial and retail capital and the largest city in the state. Seascapes and cityscapes blend harmoniously in Portland, perched on a peninsula, jutting out into island-studded Casco Bay. The metropolitan hub of Maine's south coast region, Portland is a progressive, lively city incorporating the character of yesteryear into a modern urban environment. Historic architecture blends gracefully with the new as you stroll along her working waterfront or the cobblestone streets of the restored Old Port section of the city.

With a metro population of 230,000, the Greater Portland area is home to almost one quarter of Maine's total population. The population of the city is 64,000.

The economy is strong. Bumper-to-bumper traffic and gridlock are unheard of. Portland is an easygoing city with friendly, hardworking people. Ranked nationally as one of the ten safest, culturally most fascinating US Cities and one of the top cities for doing business, housing is affordable, the schools and healthcare are outstanding.

Recreation, entertainment, scenery, culture -we've got the market cornered. Just ask the 3.6 million tourists who visit each year. And, the same things that attract vacationers make Portland a wonderful place to live, to work and to do business.

My goal is to support who ever want to led Nuer people in a better way of supporting each individual, no matter where you live, in America, Africa, Europe, Australia and Canada. I want to encourange Nuer people to love one onather and defeated hater. I want Nuer people to Unit someselves and show no differencies. I want Nuer people to forgive themselves and move forward to the future. I want Nuer society here in the United State to send a massege to our brothers and sisters back in Nuer areas not to kill each others. I want Nuer society not to recall back everythings that happened between them back in a day because if we continue killing each others, our society will not expand and we will be role by other tribes forever. I thank you Thowat Pal Chay, Ruach Jal, Kueth Deng, Isaac Tut Lam, Mayien Pan and Komach Deng, the web master for your supporting our community and I wish to see you soon some time for others meeting. Keep up the hard work, God bless you all

Chan Dak Lham,

Chairman of South Sudan Nuer Community in Portland, Maine
