The sun and the roosters get me up early to walk out a bit and get the lay of the city. It was great to see a few young men also out for a jog - not a site you get often in Khartoum. I try to greet every woman I meet on the road have been rewarded with bright gleaming smiles. 100% return rate. Priceless.
Each day we've been in workshops at the ministry of telecommunications, space generously donated for our use by the minister. We travel in a mini bus through roads with potholes that could swallow a Volkswagen. It was all officially launched by the Vice President of Southern Sudan (our lovely host's husband) and the launching of our workshop – Creators of Peace in Sudan.
We've also had some great local women guest speakers and participants. Lots to learn, but also lots being shared. Two more days to go . . .

Hi Molly! Just checking in!! Your smile is sure to be mirrored. I see that you've added comedy central to your page! I get these, too. Good way to start the day...smiling. Wish I could send the few drizzles of rain we're having your way (it's been as dry as...no, never mind, not quite that dry ;) Sending you both big hugs and hope to read about you soon.
Namaste,
Stacy
