Dusty sums
Now that 21 years of war in South Sudan is over, the government is starting to provide social services, such as education.
This school, the first of its kind in its region, is a private school and now has more than 100 pupils. But getting basic supplies in a region with very few roads is a huge challenge.
The children practise their maths in the dirt because they do not yet have access to paper and pencils.
Traditional banks
For countless generations, cattle have played a central role in the life of many African peoples, such as the Dinka of South Sudan, Micah Albert writes.
In the absence of banks, cattle are used as a store of wealth.
Some Dinkas will be rich in cattle terms - with hundreds of animals - and yet they will go hungry and wear rags.
Cattle camps are where Dinka culture is passed down to the next generation.
