Lohutok, Sudan
The Digunas are amazing. They pulled the pump up, put the new cylinder on and got the whole thing back down the well last night. It is already pumping water today.
We went out to get the rest of the doum palm fronds for my house. We got about 1 3/4 loads on the Land Rover. The builders have collected quite a bit of bamboo as well. Most of the framework for the house is up. Installation of the roof is well underway. All the bamboo and much of the doum palm is in place.

Tobia killed a squirrel-like animal when we were out getting doum palm. It was the first time I have seen a spear used.
The Diguna truck that went to Juba returned today. It had a few bags of grain, but they were apparently already sold to people on the truck. I do not quite understand all the facts (or rather mystery) surrounding the grain deal. I think I will wait until later to try to explain it.
