Juba

Can anyone tell me anything about Juba, South Sudan other than what I find on Wikipedia/Wikitravel?

No, but I'm awfully curious to know what you're up to now.

I found a job for my hubby, but within 24 hours the question becomes irrelevant to my life as he is not in the slightest bit interested!
So I keep pursruing the Camino planning instead.

Hi this David,please Juba is the capital city of the new southern Sudan in Africa.Uganda get to Juba from Uganda and this new country has some volunteer opportunities and the poverty is still high.i will tall u more soon.thanks.

Ha! Though to be fair with reading about what's been happening in the Nuba Mountains on the border there lately I think I'd rather try the Camino option myself.

Not sure that had anything to do with it Yvette! Merely the fact that he loves his job here and has no desire to give it up even for another year, not even to live in Africa doing some do-gooder work;-)
Me? I'd be gone for the new exerience and then do the Camino before returning home! (plus all the while hoping he fell in love with the idea of not-Kiwi-suburban-living.

hello do you still have the guts to go to juba with the fighting going on.please just try to get the right information before you travel.thanks.

definitely not going!

Thanks for the suggestion and please i will let you know when it time to go and free.

While this may not be relevant to mama-to-many, I would like to offer my suggestions to anyone who is interested in seeing South Sudan. I know that things are heating up there, but so far it appears that the war will be concentrated around the oil-rich northern border with Sudan and the south part of the country - Juba, the temporary capital, and other villages between the Congo and Uganda - will likely remain as they are today. Security and paranoia will probably increase but this is a fascinating country with amazing people.

I was just there for 2 weeks training social workers so I had a purpose to my visit. I recommend, if anyone wants to visit the country, that you volunteer to work with kids in any of the local orphanages that are doing remarkable work.

Any other questions, I'll be happy to answer.

Hello, it looks like the things are okay now so decide on your next move.
