Hi! This is Crystal, jumping in to write some too! We are enjoying daily life in Kampala. It is a great gift to be living in such a central location where people are often coming by. We love talking with people who stop in to say 'hi' or rest for a few hours, and offering guidance for those seeking help with business ideas. As we were reminded by a friend yesterday, daily life in Uganda seems to include more of 'just being', rather than 'doing' and aiming for ultimate productivity. It is nice to have a bit more time to read, cook and talk with people instead of having each day rigorously scheduled as we are used to. It does take patience, however, when things like grocery shopping, sending a few e-mails, and traveling across to town to meet with someone take the whole day. : )
On Sunday we traveled up to the Ranch to meet with a Ugandan man who runs a corner market there. We had a great time talking and reviewing his financial records with him. He keeps excellent records of his sales, inventory, accounts receivable, etc., but he had not been introduced to how to organize that information for better assessing his profitability. Ryan walked him through completing an income statement and balance sheet.
I miss you and hope you all are well! Have a great week!
