In the streets of the Norwegian capital Oslo, a South Sudanese traveler discovered an image of a cattle camp which evoked memories of home. "Indeed Norway is a friend of South Sudan," Tata Diko concluded. [Photo: Tata D] #travelphotography #TravelTheWorld #SSOT

Tomm Kristiansen a long time Norwegian journalist, friend of Africa and South Sudan, passed away today. Tomm was among other things instrumental in initiating the ongoing South Sudan National Archive project. Tomm will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace 🌹

Patrick Kellam never thought he would become a surgeon, let alone an orthopedic surgeon, just like his father. But on July 21, he was side by side with his dad as they performed two surgeries together for the first time. #McGovernMedSchool go.uth.edu/FatherSonSurgeons

Way to go!
Things I’ve gotten really good at in my 30s: • Giving people benefit of the doubt • Wanting to see my peers succeed • Holding babies without getting tired • Eating chicken wings to the bone How about you?

Praying for the anonymous donor family in a distant state who sent their heart half way across the country in a selfless gesture to help another to live. Our daily problems are small by comparison. 🙏🏼 #DonateLife #PrayForPeace
