A poster I saw near the main center of town… Dec. 1 was World AIDS day.

This is just behind the mosque in the main part of town. The taxis congregate here for people who need rides. The markets surround this area.

The South Sudan (or New Sudan) flag. It was painted on the side of a small boat at the port.

Yesterday we spent the better part of the morning preparing the SIM team in Atar to take materials to Atar to build their BELC (Basic Eduction Learning Center). They also carried some recently donated blankets to a church along the way. This is packing 10 bails into the back of the Land Cruiser SP (Samaritan’s Purse) has kindly let us borrow while they are not operating in Malakal at the moment.

Some of the school children on our compound.

A woman and her two young children were sitting on the edge of the banks where we were loading the boats to head to Atar.

Shoving off! It was really heavy and the boat was completely on the bank.
