After a Week of Not too Much to Report, the Plane Comes

Sorry for the lack of updates, but this past week has been pretty slow.  Plagued by a lack of drugs in the clinic and no money for programs or to pay salaries, it had seemed as though things had sort of ground to a halt.  However, yesterday our charter plane made it in just before the rains opened up and was able to deliver boxes of much needed drugs from the Southern Sudan Ministry of Health.  

 

Hopefully this means that starting this next week we can get back to our programs.  Things were starting to get a touch of the old cabin fever for a while.  As in, when you hear an engine of sorts outside the compound, you run over to the fence to gawk at whatever/whoever is passing by.  Maybe not the best use of time but it does provide for intermittent entertainment.  Even better, we've been watching the Olympics pretty much non-stop on the sat TV in the dining hall.  The opening ceremony rocked my world.
