Abukloi School: We Can South Sudan!

Justin lined up a radio talk show on Good News Radio. It included Justin, the head teacher, Jean and me. It lasted nearly 90 minutes. There were even call in listeners. It went back and forth between Dinka and English. The idea was to talk about education and culture using Abukloi as the model. The station is in Rumbek but the program was broadcast in their other 7 stations as well. Other than the room being absolutely suffocating, it was a good experience, a first for me. Today we had the privilege of meeting the new governor of Western Lake States, Solomon. He arrived on Saturday, just a few days ago. This would not have happened but Justin is a friend to the governor, a man much older than Justin, referring to him as one of his boys, like a son. Let's all pray that he does well in this position. Today is our last day in Rumbek. Tomorrow morning we fly on a UN flight to Juba. We have several things to accomplish there. Then we fly to the US on Saturday.
