Staying Safe in Sudan

Over the past couple years, I have become friends with a wonderful young lady by the name of Angela. Angela is a journalist and has been all over the world. She is a dynamic, intelligent, worldly, yet down-to-earth person. Through her stories, pictures and blogs, I too have travelled the world. I'm not sure how we were fortunate enough to have her decide to live in Prince Albert, but since her arrival here she has developed an ever-growing circle of friends. She is the type of person who can connect with people of all ages and backgrounds, and her circle of friends reflects this. She grew up in BC and her family is still there, so she has "adopted" a few of us as her Saskatchewan family. Angela is presently in Sudan, having planned this working trip before the recent violence broke out. While we tried to talk her out of going at this time, Angela would not be deterred. She had a plan and she had made a commitment , and so she left last week for Sudan. She is continuously updating us on her blog. As well, she is sending stories home to her newspaper. Between her newspaper stories and her blog, her friends are staying well connected to her, but we will all breath a sigh of relief when she comes home. You can check out her blog at takingyoucloser@blogspot.com. Stay safe, Angela! Traveling the world and living dangerously through the eyes of a friend . . . it's a good thing!
