Blessed and Unblessed

Athiei Beny Aterdit was, in the words of her father, Beny Aterdit Bol, a special and best gift who was endowed with, and had all that any parent would ever wish for their child. She was evidently academically gifted, a natural leader, exceptionally smart, kind, beautiful, generous,
compassionate, empathetic, visionary, humble, resilient and extraordinarily intelligent. This book is a collection of Athiei's stories with her father, her school's report cards, family photos, dad's various professional engagement's photos, and how she inspired her father to go above and beyond in what he does. The many photos in the book serve as evidence of activities and memories for all that Athiei stood for and was aspiring to.

Blessed and Unblessed is dedicated to the bold vision, legacy, aspirations, hard work and memories of late Athiei Beny Aterdit Bol. The author hopes that this book will inspire future generations, including Athiei's younger siblings, to aspire for the same as Athiei was working towards when she met her fate in the classroom. One of the author's key objectives is for this book to raise enough funds that can build a secondary school, or more schools, a health centre, and build a foundation for leadership, education and peace that will provide scholarships for poor students and empower girls in South Sudan and Africa if possible.
