A few photos

Well, this last week has been busy with guests and thankfully there have been no more traffic incidents. One car is still at the impound but we hope to get it out Monday. Kevin and Oliver are fine and back to work. Their cases are not quite resolved yet but it looks like everything will be okay.

One of the people I have started working with a lot is Simon.

Simon is a 21 year old Sudanese man from Yei. He is married with one child and works as our procurement/supply officer. So everyday we are working out what is needed for the sites and how to get it - either trying to find it in town or decided whether we should order it from Uganda or Kenya. Some days it can be very frustrating when looking for various items and not being able to find them. Take for instance welding cables; all of our crews need these for their work and if something happens to a cable we are stuck. Well these cables can only be found in Uganda and it takes several days to get them here. Simon is great to work with and I hope to write more of his story in the coming weeks.

Another person I have been working with a lot is Amon.

Amon is our mechanic and manages the fleet down here in Yei. He is from Kenya, not married and has been with SP many years. He is a great guy and a really hard worker; it is not an easy job keeping all these vehicles running.

Here are a few more photos of the compound:

Shower (when it is raining it is like a double shower)

Dining Room in the middle with two large sleeping rooms on either side

Well, until next time -
