21/01: Reunion in Wau
Angelo and Yel met Ron at Wau airport Thursday afternoon, delayed by a flat tire on the matatu from Aweil. They are staying the night in Wau (at Jur River Lodge, where we stayed in 2008) and are planning to meet with UN officials in the morning. Meanwhile, as Jur River Lodge has internet, the new laptops got set up.
Our field staff was full of news. They talked about the placement of our next borehole, something Ron hopes to bring up at his meeting with UN officials. They brought photos, which Ron will upload as fast as his appointments and the internet connections will let him.
And they talked about the impact Wunlang School has had in the area. Ron writes: "the school has recently been used for overnight accommodations for the voter registration in Wunlang! It was also used to put up the malaria campaign people when they were in the village a while back. We have always said the the school would be a multi-purpose facility for the community, and my heart leaped a
little when I heard that it had been used to accommodate people doing such important work as elections and health treatments."
Look for photos soon.
