Missionaries in South Sudan

Today we had two Missionaries (called Phil and Janet) come to our classroom. They talked about a lot of things and here is some of them.

• South Sudan has no beaches, ut more countries surrounding it. So the closet they can get is to sit by the nile river and eat food. 
• It has about 65 or 64 languages.
• There is this thing called dialex, It is basically a different version of one language.  One of them is called Juba Arobic.
• And in Juba it is really hot. So most people have to get a mat and put it under the shower and then get it wet and sleep on that.
• And then once you get to sleep you are fine but if you wake up it gets difficult
• Most people drink 4 or 5 litres of water a day.
• And the way they get that water from a big truck and then they have to filter it, That water is from the Nile river.
• The average heat in Juba in daytime was 47 degrees!!!!
• There is no electricity like power lines.
• Kids are not encouraged to go to school
• And there is not a lot of normal toilets like in our houses, There is these holes with a x on it and then you have to squat over the hole.
• Also they have 220 solar panels.
• There is also electric fish in the Nile river.
• They use a stick for a toothbrush.
• Half of the children in South Sudan do not go to school.
• The water is very deep in river.
• The houses are usually up on a hill so that if there are enemy tribes coming they can spot them before they get to close.
• They use charcoal for cooking instead of ovens.
• The kids they get scars on their heads to show what tribe they are in.
