November at mid service

  




I think these are for storing casava. No wait they eat that right away. What do you think are in these? Missles? Feed the Future corn. These are the only ones I have seen in country and the ground around them is cultivated with a tractor. Also not seen here most gardens are small and dug by hand
MID SERVICE conference OUR DIRECTOR Locine Hayes from Romania giving us a pep talk in Kampala.












Last one is how your tax dollar is spent. A 2 day buffet for 34 volunteers (down from 46 who started) a nice hotel with a pool, hot shower and lights that work. Just like America...At least for a few days
My table mates are Bryan from TX who works as a mountain guide now, Marianne N Calif was a lawyer now works as a farmers advocate near Queen Elizabeth. She advocates for the farmers to get some of the gate fee to pay for the crops that the wandering “wild” animals devour so the farmers don't kill them and the park no longer has the “Wild” animals
Dorthy from Chicago was a Walmart logistician now is helping Afro Pads (reusable menstral pads) go public to the country.
Thanks for paying your taxes.  TIA Marcy now back in Arua
