Lohutok, Sudan
This morning there was a big meeting where Josiah and the two teachers from Iboni explained what happened to the grain. The grain was put under the care of the teachers from Iboni to distribute along East Lopit from Loming to Imehejek. They were able to get transport from Torit to Keyala courtesy of a loan from Chief Daniel. However, they were not able to get transport on to Lohutok. They got tired of waiting for transport (mosquitos, expense for accomodations, etc.) so they started selling grain to people from East Lopit who came to Keyala. The people from Lohutok were asking pointed questions but in a courteous manner. In the end, it was acknowledged that the people who came on the truck (Josiah, the teachers from Imehejek and others) had rights to the grain. I think many people here at Lohutok are discouraged about the grain situation. They had hoped a truck would bring some grain for them, but it did not.
After the meeting, I used the Land Rover to give several people a ride to Iboni. They brought five and one-half bags of grain with them. They gave us a chicken and a ram as a gift for doing so.
