Building Aid Sudan's Nasir Compound

In December I started building Aid Sudan's first compound in southern Sudan.  It is in my home area of Nasir, Sudan. 

The land for the compound was given by the commissioner.  I talked to the commissioner and he provided it for us.  To start the construction I bought wood and tall grass for the fence.  I also bought some rope.

I had many volunteers.  Chuol Ruot, John, Yien, and another Chuol who helped me go to the market and buy all of the supplies for the building materials.  We brought them back on a donkey to the compound.  We had to dig with long metal poles for the poles for the fence.  Then we added the grass to the fence with the rope.  We would sometimes go and buy fish and bake it and share it together.  Sometimes we would go and eat at a local restaurant when there was no fish coming.

We are still working to build one hut, a toilet, and in the future we'll build more.  We hope to finish in June or July.
