We have just had our first good bye party last night. And the volunteers in all parts of our city all want to throw parties for us. It is a true honor and we have no less than five parties like this one this week. Three city local branches, one headquarter and one we will throw for the volunteers.
Here follow some pictures of the people we have come to know so well. And the wonderful gifts we have been given. It is sad to say good bye. We feel it is to soon and that time has flown away really quick the whole mission.
Some people say I will soon be back in Norway feeling the whole stay in Sudan as a dream. And I believe that they might be right. However we are making preperations to stay in touch with them after we leave. So a full good bye it is not.
Sitting in good company
Jokes, speeches and us being deeply grateful on the carpet throughout the evening. Delicious homemade snacks with tea and coffee circling around.
We got beautiful handmade gifts. Anine a pearl decorated mirror usually only given to newly married women. I got a Beja knife also decorated in pearls and some shells. We both also got a key chain pearl piece with our name on it.
How do like us in traditional Beja clothing?
Now we have only four more good bye parties to go and less than a week till we leave Port Sudan city towards Khartoum. We will take the old road to the capital Khartoum which leads us through Kassala. And Kassala is said to be green and beautiful. The old road is almost 1700km long I think. A good roadtrip.
