Teammembers Juba ......
Door: Johan in Soedan
02 Oktober 2006 | Soedan, Juba
Still three weeks to go, which means almost “End of Mission” as a Military Observer in Juba.
The last 6 months I’ve told you, in this web log, more than once about my other team members, language assistants and colleagues in team site Juba. For me it was a special experience to work with people from all over the world.
Without exception I have very pleasantly cooperated with everyone. I think that I have been with everyone, however, in a certain situation, where I have kept good memories concerning. I hope that this has been mutual. Special memories are the breakfast-rituals during the airport-patrols, the long-range patrol to Mundri and Mvolo, the visits to IDP Lologo/camp and the several patrols to Mangala, Chomba, Wonduraba, Lanya, Lafon and off course the many small drives in Juba. I´ll never forget the World Championship soccer 2006 in Amzar, the dinners in the different places, CPA-briefings, the talks about culture and habitats. I´ll always remember the special meanings of the words Diet-day, Bangladesh hospital, maintenance day, this-is-Africa, G4, transport-officer, duty-rooster, group-car, tamam, funny mission, base 114 and qip´s,
I want to ask my colleague from Juba to give a small introduction of themselves, so that these memories are laid down in my web log.
Thanks to all the friends, for the fantastically time in Juba !

Dear Johan, we started in jan 2006 with our training in the Netherlands. After that we were placed on 22 May together with Jolanda in the Team Site in Juba. We had a wonderfull time, looking the World Champion Soccer in our Flack-Jackets. We had very much fun and worked hard to get everything good working here in Sudan. But there was always your humor. Thanks for that and I will allways remenber the very nice coffee we had after our diners in OCHA and RAGA. I wish the very best!! You are a real nice person!!!

Man! You are wonderful, so jovial that I can easily tell that your family really missed you. You kept the fire burning in the team site. YOUR ABSENCE will gratly be felt in the team site. Since your company is so pracious, let us allow you to go so that we do not seem to be selfish. I know you are going with sweet memories and images of Africa. As an African, I thank you on behalf of the continent for doing a good job here in JUBA in the spirit of bringing peace to this troubled continent.
Have a safe and enjoyable journey back home. My regards to your family. I'll always remember you through the music and movies I got from you. Hope we'll meet again.

Ojok Justin:
Its' really very sad to hear that some of good UNMO’s are soon going out of the team site (Juba). It is not actually a desire to leave but because of the end of mission to some of the UNMO’s, especially the Netherlands members to mention (Johan). While with us he is a good cooperative, full of funs. its painful and sad to miss you Johan in team site . But I pray that one time somewhere we shall still meet to converse, enjoy, and make funs as well. Extend my greeting to the people of Netherlands .
Thanks
