Her visits were several years ago and the water wasn’t good, but that may have changed. They grow most of their own food and raise animals for food. I remember I wrote to several seed companies asking for donations of seeds for them to bring. The only company that responded was Burpee and they sent us a lot. They now grow eggplant in the village, something they had never seen before. They even included flower seeds. It was very nice of them. No responses from several other companies.

My daughter also brought home some very nice wood carvings people had done. If Uganda can get an honest government, they have a bright future. My daughter told me there is a lot of local corruption - pay officials to get permits, etc. Kind of like Chicago, I guess. Hopefully that will improve.

I looked at some websites for a few seminaries in the country. Much work being done, but...much work to be done, also. Thanks for that info.
