My Visit with Panther #2

Last week I went to Southern Sudan with Panther Bior. He took me to his village Merange, Southern Sudan but first I had to get there. I had to drive to LA really early in the morning and all of flights took about 30 hours. So when I got there I slept for a really long time! When I woke up I realized that I could hear and see the war brewing on the horizon. That day we had kind of a relaxing day. Panther first took me too meet all of his friends and family. We play some games with all of the kids. Then after that we went and swam in the Nile River. That was really fun! At the end of the day his wife made us a diliciouse meal.




The next day he took me to Nairobi to meet his other brother who is going to school there. So since it is a very long drive we spent the day in Nairobi and that was fun its a much bigger city then Panthers village. In Nairobi we went to a rappers concert and this rapper was from Southern Sudan also his name is Lam Tungwar. After the soccert was over we drove back to Panthers village and it was pretty late so we all went to sleep.









          The rest of our trip was very fun and a great experience! We did a lot of cool things like playing soccer some more with these adorable little kids. We also volunteered for a lot of different thing we spent a couple of days helping Panther build his school and a couple of days helping The Red Cross and Children In Need. After helping all of those people that have had to go through horrible things in their lives it really makes you feel better and it makes you feel like you have touched so many people. When we were leaving all of the little kids that we had played with and helped got very sad to see us leave and the made us sad but we promised that we would be back soon! Then we got on the plane after many hugs and sad good byes and the trip back took about another 30 hours!
