Finally, after 3 days, I have internet access!

My first week in Yambio has been an interesting one: lots of work, hiring an assistant, being sick - and an attack near Yambio last night, which made people flee from surrounding areas into the town. We had 15 extra people in our compound over night, the guard's extended family which he brought there for extra safety since we have a fenced compund.

Me and Mauro were out at a restaurant last night and were just about to order when someone told us there were rumors about an attack on a village a couple of km from Yambio. And then we saw people walking in to Yambio with their belongings on their heads, kids in their arms etc. Very unreal. And I cannot get over how horrible it must be for people to live their lives like this, never being able to relax and feel safe in your own home.

I feel safe here in Yambio though - we have a good house, compound and neighbours, so I don't worry.

Yesterday we finalised our new outdoor kitchen. It turned out pretty good! And today we cooked in it for the first time. Now I am just hoping to get some oats sent to me from Juba and everything will be great! :)
