One week away

We are getting really excited about this trip.

The ground work is taking place at a rapid rate and I have been talking with our contact over there finalizing the details.


From the sounds of it the well should be in place and operational by the time that we get there, the land for the garden is being worked up and plowed. A process that, here in the states would take about 3 hours but in Uganda they have to do it with a ox and a plow, and remove all the stumps by hand. So it could take up to a week, but we have been told that it will be ready by the time that we get there.

We have found a local source for the seeds and tools which is a big relief. Now we can focus on getting the plantings done and get the garden growing. My goal is to have the seeds sprouting before we leave.... let's see if we can make it happen.


Our lodging situation is still up in the air so we are taking a tent just in case we need to it, pray that we get something figured out because that might be a little tense for a couple nights but it is Africa. There is only so much that you can line up and sometimes you have to be willing to go with the flow.

We still are in need of support but we are a lot closer to our goal, so if you have any inclination to donate to our cause we would greatly appreciate it.

Our blog post will be almost daily until we leave for Uganda on May 1st. We will try our best to keep all of you updated while we are over there.


Thanks for all the support,


Luke
