The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Wednesday, 26 September 2012. Proud owner of a book shelf. The walls were crusty brown before we scrubbed all day. Thrilled to have a wardrobe and to be able to unpack everything. Martin playing ghosties behind the mozzy net. But we are making it our own and are very happy to have unpacked finally after living out of suitcases since June 15. First Day at School.

The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Tuesday, 25 September 2012. The maize field belonging to the church. We arrived but this was the first part of the process and things move slowly. Having come from Khartoum, Medani is a pleasant sight. There are trees! And we saw some grass! We then met up with Christine who is doing her 3. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How long is a piece of string? So it ...

The Beels in The Sudan: On being Tee-total
http://thebeelsinthesudan.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-issue-with-alcohol-is-funny-thing.html
The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Monday, 17 September 2012. Or get those beers out of the fridge. I think I am sharing my crossness. I can’t explain it but I feel like showing off about it. I resent being unable to have even one cold beer. However, it’s like always being the designated driver and it is quite irritating. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How long is a piece of string? T...

The Beels in The Sudan: A Glimpse of Village Life
http://thebeelsinthesudan.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-glimpse-of-village-life.html
The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Sunday, 16 September 2012. A Glimpse of Village Life. A painted gate is the only adornment form the outside of the houses. Rami one of the co-ordinators at SVP invited the new arrivals to stay in his village and visit the pyramids at Meroe (pronounced merrow-ay). Naturally we were very excited about this and said “YES PLEASE! The thing with these villages is that...

The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Sunday, 26 August 2012. Coming into Land in Khartoum. We arrived at Khartoum at 18:30 and were met by Rami and taken by taxi to the SVP flat not too far from the airport. It was still very hot and we had to carry up the bags to the third floor – no lifts – which was a killer. We have been separated too which is a killer! It is really, really hot. So hot you d...

The Beels in The Sudan: On Covering Up 1
http://thebeelsinthesudan.blogspot.com/2012/09/on-covering-up-1.html
The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Monday, 17 September 2012. On Covering Up 1. Wedding guests the day after we arrived in Khartoum. I am not a Muslim and my culture has a different dress code so what do I want to do? How do I want to dress? So, the same here. Why shouldn’t I wear a sleeveless top or even a short sleeved t-shirt? What is wrong with wearing a below the knee skirt? But one confusing...

The Beels in The Sudan: The Heat
http://thebeelsinthesudan.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-heat.html
The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Saturday, 15 September 2012. The water here is never cold. It comes from a water tank on top of the building and depending on when in the day you shower it will range from tepid to hot. The best time for a cold shower is at 5 in the morning as this is the longest time the tank has not been exposed to the sun. The water is cool. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Sunday, 16 September 2012. The women's section at one stage of a village wedding. When we arrived we were treated like celebrities. Chairs were made available for me and Rebecca with the women and the children swarmed around us wanting their picture taken. Not to be outdone the women also got up and danced and wanted their picture taken too! On the way back to th...

The Beels in The Sudan: In sickness and in health
http://thebeelsinthesudan.blogspot.com/2012/09/in-sickness-and-in-health.html
The Beels in The Sudan. Our year long Sudan adventure as teachers of English in Government schools through the charity Sudan Volunteer Program. Monday, 17 September 2012. In sickness and in health. The fee for the doctor was 150 SDP which is about £19. So that was ok. But the meds were very expensive. The pharmacy wanted 50 SDP (£5.50) for 10 tablets and when I pulled a face she gave me some cheaper ones for 16 SDP (£2) Why not give me those ones first? No doubt. What a pisser. Not happy. As you will gat...
