I arrived in Goli on April 19th. It did not seem too different from Uganda. It was green and there is a lot of vegitation there. Goli is near the big town of Yei where I almost went into shock because I found Mt. Dew. In Goli we stayed at this large training center. Even though the students were no longer present, many others were gathered for a training seminar. Within the first day I was meeting new people left and right. I met this gal Jen from the states who came to Goli to start a school. This school is not yet a formal primary school, but it is preparing the children for when it does become formal. I got the wonderful opportunity to teach with Jen. She was going to have no help during the time I was in Goli and was preparing to teach 80 children on her own. It turned out to be a challenging and rewarding experience.
In February a bush fire came through the training center compound. Many tukuls (huts) were burnt. The Lord really protected those around because no one got hurt. They are now in the process of building new classrooms and housing accomidations.
These are the outdoor showers. I really got used to the outdoor shower in s. Sudan.
These boys are ready to go back into the classroom after their recess break. One of them is enjoying a mango. The mangos were unbelievalbly plentiful in Goli. I have never seen such ripe mangos.
This is one of the classrooms. I taught in here most of the time with the younger children. The children the attend this school range from age 4-16.
Jen and I right before I took off for the airstrip. I thank the Lord for all the people that He brough into my path while I was in Goli.
