Greetings from Sudan! I thought you might be interested in getting a glimpse of the houses or buildings I encounter in Sudan. The dwelling huts are called tukuls. On the left is my first tukul. This tukul is modern in that the walls are made of block and it has a metal roof. 
To the right is a semi modern tukul with a traditional thatched roof. The people use whatever is available to build their huts. Most often the walls are made of sticks and sometimes plastered with mud. The floors are most often dirt, but modern tukuls have concrete floors.
Below is our deluxe bath/toilet facility:) Notice the stick walls.
Here's a picture of Irene, a dear Kenyan sister with whom I shared the tukul. She works from SLC. You also can see me and Jolly, the Ufandan English tutor at the Yei Teacher Training
Center. (YTTC)
Our major base of operations in Sudan is the village at Yei. Below is the teacher training center classroom building. You can also see the YTTC staff offices. Pretty fancy by local standards, heh?
Finally, below is a view of the Yei River that runs by the village.
That will be it for this post. You can leave your comments or questions by clicking the link labeled 'comments' at the end of this post.
Greetings Ingrid. What fabulous pictures. It's so hard for us to imagine what it's like in Sudan. Thank you for posting the pictures and giving us such details on everyday life. We continue to pray for you daily and the boys say "Hello!".Denise
