I had two rotations to Kajo Keji today, starting with a medical flight to collect a man who had received 2 gunshot wounds and needed to come to Juba for treatment. Medevacs are always a little more complicated than normal flights, with large crowds and plenty of people who want to be involved and try to help. Fortunately we have a good working relationship with the people who were involved in this flight and, although there was a large crowd, things went fairly smoothly and we were able to complete the flight without much too much trouble.
The second rotation was to collect 5 men from Kajo and take them to Mvolo and Maridi in the west, where they will be doing surveys for potential boreholes. The men work with an organisation called East African Ministries (www.eamafrica.org) and they told me that their organisation drills and manages boreholes for remote communities as part of their ministry.
A long day, but rewarding to be playing a small part in such exciting ministries.
