Container
This office building in refugee camp is constructed with 2 containers.
I recently learned there are several idea to utilize this kind of container as construction!
(I also learned it costs a lot here in South Sudan since the needs is quite high.)

Today, there was a football match by those player. I was so surprised to see their great physical ability with artificial foot!

Roots
Due to the limitation of the internet access, I have not been able to update since last week.(Still not stable at my accommodation...)
During these few days, I made 2 trips to the fields which are relatively close to Juba(capital).
Apart from those trip(hope I can update gradually), my friend introduced me a shop which is organized by one women's group called "roots project".
They create some accessories, T-shirts, bags and some small interior goods.
Bit expensive compared to the similar ones in Asian countries of course, but I like their initiatives! Hope they can improve their products and expand their activities more!
Since the building of shop itself is very nice with small inner garden, I think it would be nice if they start cafe or something, too...

Avocado juice
This became my favorite!
I used to like the avocado juice in Indonesia which has thick taste with chocolate syrup.
But here, it is more light and freshening taste which is mixture with lemon, I guess.
I like both taste but this became my favorite in South Sudan!

Blood and tears...
![]() |
"Tears of the desert" by Halima Basir |
For me, the image of "Darfur" was all about blood and tears before I read this book.
But I learned the beautiful nature and peaceful life in Darfur in the past period.
During reading this book, I repeatedly ask the same question as hers to myself,
"why do we need to suffer because of the skin color?"
My answer is simply just "Ego" which is in us all the human beings.

Warming-up
UN family had a celebration lunch for the independence & new "country" team! |
At night, local people's dance(male vs female??)! It was very energetic!! |
Today, UN family had a celebration lunch. The staff from the South seems extremely happy, of course!!
I have never heard any negative comment for their independence from the local people at all.
Wish the newest country become the most peaceful and beautiful country in the world!

Returnee from the North
The ship to bring returnee to the South - Left: For people, Right: For furniture and their belongings |
Along the port, people are waiting for the IOM tracks to carry their furniture/belongings until their final destination. |
I met the returnee who arrived with IOM organized transportation from the North. They stay in UNHCR "Way Station" after their arrivals. Most of the women and children stays at Way Station during the day time, while the men come to port to guard their belongings.
*I will upload some photo of "Way Station" tomorrow.
