The To-Do List

Here are some of the items on our list at the moment, besides the usual stuff:

• Sort out Internet: Internet's been off for about a week now. MTN, our provider, claims that the Eastern region is experiencing difficulties in general. But, we are not convinced. While we love their product (for the most part), the service is quite something else. Our guess is that they failed to process our payment on time (which has happened before) and ended up cutting us off. But, who knows. Losing the Internet, even for a short while, makes one realise just how essential it is.

• Get cocks from Kampala: the poultry pilot is being delayed a bit due to unexpected difficulties in obtaining the exotic cocks from nearby breeding centers (of which there are not many). So, Alex is planning a trip to Kampala to procure them from the larger breeding centers near the capital city.

• Organise furniture and uniforms: the kids at the nursery school are on a break after the three weeks of launch and orientation. In the meantime, Geoffrey is organising some furniture for the kids that can replace the makeshift ones and also uniforms.
