Edgar Mwaku, KVDA, Kiriichwa Rd. Nairobi, has a dream of visiting America. A coal burning stove, used for cooking  both in Nairobi and in Kakuma village. Allen, a KVDA volunteer from Hong Kong,  photographs children in the  Nairobi Kibiria slum. He has given them notebooks and pencils of the first day of school in the new year. Winnie Odongo washes clothes in the back yard of the KVDA hostel.
Winnie Odongo buys charcoal at a market off Ngong Rd. in Nairobi. The staple food, maize meal, used to make ugali. Food cooks fast because the coal fire burns very hot. Emily Spencer prepares these rounds of dough for chapati.

The Good Braider

DEAR BOOK CLUB MEMBERS, STUDENTS, AND ALL READERS,

I HAVE CREATED THESE POSTS ABOUT SOUTH SUDAN to provide background for reading my novel THE GOOD BRAIDER. You'll see news stories about the new nation of South Sudan and nearby countries. You'll find videos, audio, links to researching the nation, profiles of young South Sudanese musicians, writers, athletes, friends. Check out the reading list for more stories about Sudan and other African countries.
