Yuen-Lin’s Day 4 journal

If a person has experienced a lot of suffering for a prolonged period, one may expect it to leave a mark. If there has not been effective outside assistance in bringing peace to one’s homeland, one might at least be cautious towards outsiders. Not so with the people we have met and seen so far. […]

Yuen-Lin’s Day 3 journal

Today was a traveling day. Gabriel and I worked late, then around sunrise everyone switched to packing mode, and soon we were off to N’djamena airport. The streets of N’djamena were quiet and calm, and there were no soldiers in sight. Quite a change from the day before. The airport was also quiet when we […]

A Few More Responses From Gabriel

Connie’s Journal

Man-forgotten Today was full of mixed emotions. Returning with our friend’s, Gabe showed them videos of earlier trips and what we were showing people back home. We told them that we were taking their message back, I felt terrible! They were thanking us for doing this. But all I could think was: IT’S NOT ENOUGH! […]

Connie’s Mini Journal Addition

Scaaaaaaaaaaary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine. After all the emotions of the day we were driving back to the camp and were commenting on a bulldozer and steamroller that were on the side of the road, and that they were doing a very good job of flattening out the bumps to the dirt road, and also the ridiculous amount […]
