Last days in Uganda (Part 2)

It's October. I don't know what just happened. Apart from this. I was planning to do this part 2 post two whole months ago.

But better late than never. To make things easy for myself, this last post is going to be more of a snapshot one than a snippet one. (And yes, I realize this blog never really stuck to the "snippet" rule. More like essay. Or ramblings. Sorry I'm not sorry.)

Select photos from the last days are below. More are here in case you don't have Facebook!

Best neighbors ever.
Graduation day.

Awkwardly posed with Tina and baby.

What am I going to do without this little one?

Musana, moving forward!

In the three months I was there, Musana was in the midst of some great improvements. The organization hired an assistant manager (Barbara), upgraded from mattresses on the floor to worktables and chairs, recorded its biggest sale thus far, got official workshop signs, and started making smoothies. Among other things.

Musana gets a shop sign!

(It took a few tries to get right. I left Uganda before
the final version.)
Musana got a blender to make smoothies. The plan is
to make the workshop into a cafe in the future. Oooo.

The new Musana sign on the Kampala-Jinja highway.
If you go to Uganda, STOP BY OR I  WILL PINCH YOU.

And lastly, I'll leave you with a few of my favorite videos:

At Josephs's Wedding. Lots of happy in that room.


Celebration song when Musana 
made it's biggest order. It completely
cleared out the workshop!
