The Local Bakery












A big part of or job here with the UN is to visit the towns in the area and meet with the locals daily. Sort of show a UN presence. In Melut, where we are based, there is literally only one bakery - and it is a wood burning, mud-oven. The place seems to be run by three or four boys, all covered in flour! Only one kind of bread, a tough buy tasty flat bread baked on a wooden stick. They make hundreds daily, sell 5 small loaves for one Sudanese Pound (about 30 cents) and seem to be the only supply for about 500 people!
