Finding our Feet
By Lindsay Greetings from Juba! For UK dwellers, I believe the temperatures this week are far beyond what we are experiencing.

Further north into South Sudan, the rainy season brings a huge challenge as the seasonal deluges result in the Nile breaking its banks and flooding communities. Our teams change from using planes for transporting goods, to using boats and rafts since the planes cannot land. Cars give way to walking. A lot of Medair's work is hampered or put on hold for a few months until the hot, dry season kicks in. But enough about the weather! I'm happy to report that Steve and I are both well and enjoying a phenomenal amount of carbohydrate. A few people have asked what our diet looks like, so some picks from the weekly menu: 9/10 Tuesday lunch - beans, rice, ugali (maize meal), cabbage and fresh watermelon (yum) 10/10 Wednesday dinner -
