School building work is underway - click here for more info Visit to Kadugli November 2008 From Khartoum I caught the bus to Dilling. It took about 17 hours or so, over very bumpy ground. After that it was another 4 hours in a jeep to the house of Bishop Andudu, in Kadugli. I stayed there overnight and we spent the following day trying to fix the jeep for our journey to Kurchi. Eventually, a tractor battery was found and we managed to jump start the jeep. We began the rough journey through the floods from the rains, which came into the vehicle and made our feet wet.
