Quote: SAYAP Mission Statement Vision: The Sudanese American Young Adult Project (S.A.Y.A.P.) is an organization aimed at bringing together the youth in the Sudanese Diaspora and engaging them to discuss and take action, by creating new ways of helping, regarding modern issues of concern in Sudan. Background: Sudanese youth in the Diaspora have long struggled with the question of selfidentity, an inability to completely claim a nationality, or a separation from where they regard as home. Approaching adulthood and the stage of choosing professional and/or academic careers makes this struggle only clearer. Therefore, Sudanese youth in the Diaspora who regard themselves as bicultural or recognize the effects of their separation, and who are concerned about the current state of Sudan, have an urgent need and responsibility to learn about the political, economic, and social structures of the country as well as a responsibility to partake in its development. Drifting from their roots has become a problem of primary concern for Sudanese youth outside of Sudan and therefore this project is a call to action. The name Sudanese American Young Adult Project reflects the current location of the project, which is the United States. Our goals as SAYAP members will be as follows: 1) Recruit as many interested Sudanese youth in the Diaspora as possible into the Project. The Youth who may become members will be defined as Sudanese individuals between the ages of 18 and 29 who have spent a period of time outside of Sudan and who currently living in the U.S. This recruiting effort will at first be limited to Sudanese youth in the DC Metropolitan area, New York City and Philadelphia but will eventually expand. Although members must have the above specifications, the Project will work with others outside of the specified ranges, although they will not be regarded as members (but rather friends), and therefore will not have voting/deciding rights. 2) Collect information about the Sudanese history, cultures, religions, languages, and all other types of intellectual work on Sudan with the help of scholars. We will be responsible for disseminating this information among ourselves and to any others who are interested. 3) Act as liaisons between existing organizations and interested individuals in the US working on Sudanese issue(s) and in Sudan by creating and working on projects dealing with Humanitarian/Educational Development as well as contributing alternative and unique ideas about different approaches of how to help the Sudanese cause. We will accomplish this by researching what selected organizations in Sudan need to continue their work and growth and identifying parties here that will be able to provide this assistance, and then pursuing this assistance. 4) Work with Sudanese youth in the Diaspora (not limited to members) to continuously generate discourse regarding their situation. This is a secular project by Sudanese Youth and essentially for Sudan and its Youth. We will run it, lead it, organize it, and steer it in whatever direction we think is necessary.
