South Sudan...some photos...

I know, I know! I've been really bad at updating this...must try harder!
So this is my first post after joining Medair in South Sudan. I'm currently in Central Equitoria trying to construct latrine blocks in schools. I've posted some photos of the schools we visited during our assessment of the schools...
Teaching under a temporary shelter...ok in the dry season,
not so good when it begins to rain, I expect...

neither would this...teaching under the trees...


or this tent...


but what other choice do these children have if they want to learn...
and they always have a smile on their faces...


And some of the latrines we've constructed...




















I thank God every day for the fantastic contractors we've got...not that every day doesn't bring it's problems and frustrations...but each day is differenct and is never without its smiles, laughs and new experiences...

Generally, the safest and fastest way in and out of the field.


Kids are so creative...this truck is made from an old powdered
milk tin...all over the world children like to pull something behind
them...Sudan is definitely no exception!

one of the main roads within the market


being able to carry water on your head takes years of training...


never really played volleyball...now I love it...but i'm

still pretty rubbish...
