Now I understand what Dorothy meant…

I’m back home and absolutely loving my family and friends who’ve all been very supportive during this experience. And what an experience…

It was sad and difficult – every single day. Everything!!! is different there (Southern Sudan). And sadly everything! requires attention, work, help, you name it.

But for me, the children were a real highlight. Whenever I visited a school, my spirits were lifted. They loved my cameras, were always smiling, would sing me songs, wanted to shake my hand and meet me… it kept me going knowing that what we were doing will hopefully improve their lives in the future.

Here’s some photos from my last day in Juba. We visited a school and gave a class (100 children) bubble blowers to play with. They had fun! It was really nice to see them laughing and playing.

A big thank-you to Bryan and Michelle for putting up with me for 3-weeks – I know it mustn’t have been easy :-/

Post production/editing begins this weekend – but first to capture the 5-hours of footage I filmed, oh yay :-) Stay tuned for doco updates…
