Planting on the Contour

By Sara:

The workers at the Anglican farm across the street are not only interested in baking, but also in skills which will help them in their own farming.  One skill they asked me to share about was how to plant a garden on a hilly slope.  This whole area has lots of hills and many people plant up and down the slope, leading to lots of erosion when it rains.

So I showed them a simple technique for marking the contour of a hill so you can plant along that line.

It was a very timely skill for everyone to learn and practice since many of them were just starting to prepare and plant gardens on the same hill where we did the lesson.

World Renew Story about my Work!

By Anthony:

Go to this link to see a story World Renew shared about my work.  I think you will find it interesting and encouraging.  It was awesome for me to see how one of my students put into practice what he had learned.  The link goes to a pdf file, so it might take a minute to load.

Kampala Traffic

By Anthony:

A friend shared this first video below on facebook and I thought it might be interesting to you.  These videos (not taken by us) will help you to understand why we get stressed out and exhausted while driving, especially in big cities like Kampala, and why I struggle with road rage, and why you should keep praying for our travel safety.  The boda bodas (motorcycle taxis) pop out of nowhere all the time, coming past you from any direction or side.  It's common for them to break people's mirrors.  We've seen this happen as well as other accidents. We used to take bodas all the time when we were first in Uganda, but now we try to avoid them.

The first is a BBC news video that is on youtube.

The second is a random video I found on youtube of people driving on boda bodas through Kampala.  There are plenty more videos there on youtube if you are interested!
