Emergency stuck in the mud.

This unconcious infant and her mother from Simooni village had some serious challenges just getting to the nearest airstrip. A vehicle happened to be in the area and was able to respond after the child's condition had deteriorated. The vehicle made it about halve way to Katoka village airstrip and could go no further. A motorbike was able to rescue them some hours later for the flight to Lethem.

That airstrip developed through a joint Katoka / RAM project a few years ago and the leaders in Simooni have spoken to the organization about building their own for just these situations.
