Enjoy this excerpt from a FaceBook post by Valki , one of three
wonderful American volunteers spending their summer vacation teaching at St
Bakhita Girls' Primary School in Narus, South Sudan:

“Love my little tukul (hut). It’s round with teal door and
teal windows. The walls are brick, concrete and the roof is thatched. I sleep
under a mosquito net… The girls are sweet and full of song…. They come from
many tribes. The Toposa have nose piercings (not allowed in their classes) and
they giggle at the fact that I also have one. I tell them I am also Toposa
because of this and they cheer loudly!
“So far I am known as the one who attracts animals and bugs
of all sorts, including a bat, Bruce, who hung out on my tukul for some time. I
tried to feed him a raisin, but it seems he is not a fruit bat : ) In this first week I have two spider bites, a
cat scratch, and a sizable ant managed to get trapped in my bra (and defend
himself). It is 9:25 pm now and—no joke—I
opened my door because of a noise…and now I have a toad in my tukul. I think it
is the very one that I caught yesterday.
Ha ha!"
