Water for Wunlang : Before we began constructing the school, we saw that the people of Wunlang urgently needed a well. Girls and women were walking at least two hours a day to collect water that was not clean. We were very fortunate to find funding and a nearby drill rig in 2007. Now, people walk two hours to come to our well. It was so gratifying to see the well in action, to see the people and animals benefitting from it, and to drink that water ourselves. We have been asked to drill wells in other remote, suffering parts of Southern Sudan, and we will.

Communication technology comes to Wunlang : Communication is a big challenge in South Sudan. There are no land lines. Cell-phone networks are just arriving, and those networks work in limited areas. Satellite phones work, but are expensive to use. Computers are just arriving in the larger towns. Most providers are charging phones and computers with gasoline-powered generators. We're going solar. On this trip, we started our computer lab with one laptop, one modem, and instructions to our field manager on how to send e-mail. And we got to blog from Yel's compound!
