It
is a great sadness that the TfS office in Kadugli, South Kordofan, has been
closed since fighting swept across the area in early June.None of our colleagues were injured but among
items looted from our Kadugli office was a very expensive microscope essential
for eye surgery during Eye Care Outreach. We remain hopeful that the microscope
will be returned and that– working
through the Kadugli office – we may be able to continue Eye Care Outreach in
the Kadugli hospital. We hope that a colleague from our Khartoum office will be
able to visit Kadugli soon. Meanwhile, our
loyal guard, who was sent away by soldiers before the looting, is back in the
office for which we had paid rent for several months in advance.However, our TfS Field Representative is now
working in the Khartoum office. Alan and
I were denied permission to go to Kadugli on our recent trip.
