Rumbek

Rumbek is the next NGO central after Juba. We went from one extreme to the next, very rural to busy roads. The UN has a very strong presence in this place and it was very evident because certain things were very expensive. In Rumbek we met up with People from Across. They were very kind to adjust their schedules and take us around to their different ministry sites.


These are the four bondas that we stayed in at a guest house right in town. We were within walking distance to the market.

Rumbek was the target of much bombing during the war. This is just one of the many ruins that still remain.
This is the Across site in Akot, which is about a 45 min. drive from Rumbek town. They have developed a training center for health workers and teacher training.

We got to sit with some of the students and answer their questions. along with hearing feedback from them about their studies.

I am standing with Judy who is the principal at the training center. We are standing in front of her beautifully decorated Tukul.


Many Dinka gathered under a large tree on Sunday to worship together.
