After
a year absence due to the pandemic, I was finally able to return to Uganda to
complete my mission service. It wasn’t easy to leave my dad (age 89)
again, but I know he is proud of me and supports me.
One
of the projects I manage is the tea farm. Profits from the sale of tea helps
support several important ministries in the Diocese of Kabale. I was
pleased to discover that in spite of the pandemic and all of the hardships they
experienced, the workers continued to work in the farm and the plants are
thriving. This is a great partnership: the workers do all they can to
help nurture and maintain the plants and with my ability to create a budget,
plan and supervise, we are able to optimize the tea farm to make it profitable
for the Diocese.Note:
See the woman in far left of the photo – she is farming with her
baby on her back. A common site here and a testament to the women of
Uganda.
