The late fall rains are helping

The rains in NE Uganda have been on again, off again this spring.  It has been very challenging to plan for the best time to prefare the fields and do the planting.  There we some false starts earyl on and some crops failed because the rains did not continue.  Right now it is raining and crops are once again in the ground.  We are still hoping to purchase additional equipment so we can better prepare more and more ground in the rural villages.  These crops are what keeps these people alive.

Thank you for your continues support.  I plan to be in Uganda in December for an on the ground assessment.

It has been a tough planting season in NE Uganda. The rains came in late January and the villages quickly planted their seeds and then the rains stopped.  Many of the crops dried up. Unfortunately many of the villagers did not have enough seed to replant with the return of the rain in the past few weeks.  We are scambeling with our Ugandan partners to secure addtional seed.  Life is very difficult in these remote villages.  They rely heavily on the equipemnt we have helped them purchase, but even with the equipment they still are at the mercy of the weather. We greatly appreciate your support..  We could not do it without you.
