If you want to see Sudan, check Jarle's site! I met him in Yei 2 weeks ago - he's writing a book about children in Africa, traveling in his hotted-up Landrover from Capetown to Cairo and around Africa. If you go to the countries page, and into Sudan, you'll find his photo slideshows - specifically the 3rd (Juba) and 4th (NPA's Mine Action programme) show where I often travel. Click on March 2007 in the Frontpage Archive and you'll see Yei. He also has a great PDF on the main page about the NPA demining programme. He's a great photographer - his photos do much more justice than mine!
We spent a long night and a bottle of whiskey trying to sort out his computer's virus problem - which quickly became my problem when mine got infected too!

Johanna+Tad, Toby, & Anthony
Canadian girl, Kenyan boy... Anthony and I met in Kenya in 2002, working for humanitarian agencies mostly in Sudan. We've been married since 2003, and now have a family of six! We recently relocated to Canada, and though we miss Anthony's two oldest, Kevin (Gigi) & Leah, terribly, we expect them to join us this year. Toby, now almost 4, is proud big brother to Tad, born in Oct 2008.
Some of the Khisas!
