Open Doors to Yida

Today's flight was to Yei to collect a team for Open Doors and take them up to Yida in the north of the country, with a stop in Rumbek for fuel.

It's always good to fly for Open Doors and to support the work that they do, but today's flight was also special in that I had the opportunity to fly with an old friend. Before starting work with MAF, I worked as a flying instructor in South Africa and one of today's passengers was one of my fellow instructors at that time. He continued to instruct for a few years after I left to fly for MAF but then he stopped flying and went back to work for Open Doors in South Africa.

It was great get the chance to fly together today and to have a chat as we made our way up to Yida.
