we are making progress on this significant project. We have found some good used equipment and hope to be able to purchase some of it in Novewmber. The NGO we partner with in Uganda is going to use the equipment not only to help the villagers prepare their crops, but also plant crops of their own to sell so that they can move toward finacial self-sufficiency. The next round of crops will be planted in December.
The crops that they are harvesting now look really good. The Ugandan NGO also raised some funds toward equipement purchases by charging farmers to plow their fields. A great return on the investment we made in the tractor.
Thank you for your help and encouragment.
