Okelli is our mechanic/driver, and a good one at that. In order to keep our operations going smoothly, he is out working on the vehicles nearly every day to ensure we won’t break down out in the bush. And he always does it with a great attitude, despite potentially frustrating situations. As many of you already know, we must travel about an hour and a half each way to get to the villages where we work. As a result our GRI vehicles take a beating on these roads, which are more like battle zones.
He works tirelessly into the evenings maintaining and repairing everything from tires to engines, often with minimal tools. I liken him to MacGyver who can fix almost anything with chewing gum and duct tape. The other day, Okelli was able to repair a leaking radiator with chunks of soap and water, which enabled us to get home from the field. Thanks to Okelli, our ministry to the people of Apac and Oyam districts can continue each day. Hats off to you, Okelli!
