Chronology of my trip to Sudan

First day in Wau. This picture shows my arrival home. There are many people, not shown in this picture who were anxious to greet me and they were prevented by the spear master, a diviner who wanted to perform ceremonial Dinka blessings before I touch anyone. Standing Beside me is my step mother Agol Akol Ngor. Standing opposite from her is my dad who is emotionally moved. He wants the spear master to speed up the blessing to give him a chance to greet me. From his appearance, you can judge that he is in disbelief. He can't believe that standing beside him is the son he had not seen for the last twenty-two years.
