Possible land for Hopebuilders and more arrivals..


We went and looked at some land on the 24th. The land was 20 mins north of Jinja. It was about 16 acres covering 2 blocks (see sketch). The block boundaries are just defined by landmarks - i.e. a couple of boundaries follow a path which is not that straight. Some corners are marked by certain trees. The land is mostly agriculture and has a house and a couple of other buildings on it. They're asking 50 million UG Shillings (about US$30,000 or AU$32,000).
We will be looking at some more land soon east of Jinja.


Rob was also quite excited today (27/12) as he was on his way to the airport to pick up Lynette, Nicole and Katie and other team members. It is around a 2.5 hour trip but it will be good to be reunited with family and the new members should inject more energy. Life is pretty busy on the project and getting things done with coordinating building supplies and the like is quite a challenge. Communications is also a challenge and getting around sometimes proves to be tough. The boys found quite a good inernet cafe in Jinja, which is about a 10 minute drive from where they are staying.
