Our car slid off the road today and ended up stuck in the swamps... It took about 3 hours and lots of mud to finally get the car out. Not your typical day in the office unless you are working in Sudan!

Hi there,
I read your posts frequently and am currently investigating the possibilities to come to Sudan (Kapoeta) in September/October for three months. I have some (actually a lot) practical questions, especially concering the safety. Can you contact me by mail? Thanks

Hi, I'm a volunteer for a special peace prayer project and we are looking for someone who can send us a few small stones from Sudan. We'd be glad to cover shipping. Can you please help us? Please e-mail us at kdr@idlespace.net if you're interested. Thank you!
