Yeah, my mom, dad, and everyone else in my family was educated at Menonite mission in Jamaame. My uncle, an Isaaq gentleman from Hargeisa, came down to Jamaame to teach young girls medicine in Jamaame (collegiate level) and that's where he married my aunt--who was a student. But yeah, there was a huge flow of missionaries in Lower Jubba region.
My mom was born in Jilib around 1960 because her father was a soldier and stationed there---but she knows virtually nothing, especially in relation to the locals.
I look forward to your tales in Somalia, its opened my mind further about how the education system worked and a new dimension in missionary work.
