Each Sunday afternoon, once it has cooled down a little, people from different missions and several of our Chadian colleagues gather for a social volleyball hit-out. Apparently it is tradition for SIL to build a volleyball court wherever they are based and they didn’t forget when they set up their main Chadian base in N’Djamena. Katie is always keen to point out that the definition of ‘social’ depends on how competitive a nature you have. As a result, each week there are many people (including Katie) who prefer to gather on the sidelines to have a good yak and cheer on those taking the hits (more so the former).
John plays most weeks as this is just about the only source of consistent sporting activity he gets. Numbers vary week to week as people come and go from N’Djamena, but the volleyball remains a fun way to burn off some energy and interact with people away from work.
