Mystery of Sudan

On July 19, 2019, I accepted a job in Sudan. I was uncertain of what this adventure would bring for me and my son. It was the second time my son had been to Africa but this time it would be for an extended period of time. He would be attending school in Sudan and I would be working as a classroom teacher in the same school he would be attending. It was my hope that he would be ok. I googled everything I could find on Sudan before we departed the USA and at the time all the information was about the number of deaths and civil unrest in Sudan, and this made me nervous. The media made Sudan out to be a very volatile place and it was also a place that the US had placed sanctions on because of what the US deemed as a terrorist country and their so-called associations with terrorists.

Crazy! I thought to take myself and my son halfway across the globe to a country that the United States had put on a terrorist list, I must be insane. But sometimes you can't always believe what is in the media and on August 19, 2019, we boarded a plane to Sudan to begin what would be a mystery.
