Roughin it in Malwal Kon

We arrived in Malwal Kon on Wednesday April 25th in the middle of a wind storm. As our plane landed on the dry dirt airstrip the wings were tilting right and left. Our welcome committee was holding their breath as the wheels hit the ground. When we got out of the plane I was surprised the the gusts of wind and dust. I definitely felt like I had arrived in another country.


The round structure in the back ground is called a Tukul. The missionary families that we stayed with live in these local mud houses. I was amazed at their rough living style.

Scott Myhre is taking a turn at the boar hole. Many local people travel a good distance on foot to get water from dispersed boar holes.
At first glance you might think those are monkeys in the tree, but no, look a little closer and you will see that they are children. They are trying to collect the fruit from this tree and having a little fun in the process.

Eating out in Aweil town about an hour away from Malwal Kon. We got bread with various mystery dipping sauces.

Walking to visit some of the neighbors.

In Aweil town you will see lots of donkeys and horses pulling carts Acacia Masso is ready to move to Sudan just for this reason. She recently wrote a research paper on donkeys.

These ladies have made natural peanut butter from ground nuts. The whole process seems very labor intensive.

There are more Sudan pictures to come, so stay tuned...
