Today I woke up in Panther's village with his people singing. The hut I stayed in was very comfortable, although small. Then, I had a Sudan dish called
Moroccan Cuisine. It was interesting, but I am not complaining. Then, we spent some time in the village singing songs and then Panther took me to his school.
The school was truly amazing, the difference that Panther was making for those kids was extraordinary. The smiles that those little kids had were priceless. Then, we went back to the camp and I just listened to people's stories. Although right when we got into camp Panther introduced me to his wife. She had me help her make a basket. Then, I walked around the Village with Panther. The togetherness of the village was astonishing. They would wave and say hi, I can't even tell you how many times I had a person ask if I was visiting, if I needed help and many more. That day in Sudan I wouldn't give back for anything. The children's smiles, the accents, the food and the love is a memory I will have forever.
Panther gave me a shirt from his school as a souvenir. I didn't need anything from him, but the shirt was a pleasant surprise. It has a child smiling and says Sudan Freedom, No War No Problems. That saying has so much meaning in those six words. I will never forget this Experience!
Thank you Panther!!
