She was an advisor in the School Gardens and Nutrition Unit in the Ministry of Education in the South Sudan. She was part of the music group in Juba where because of the heat the ladies tied their hair in buns - the group was thus called the Sweaty Bunnies. Elizabeth played the flute and we called her 'Ditch'. She is now married with a child and working in Ecuador. |
