• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Brothers and Sisters on Board come to Uganda and See my Village and it's called Buwekula Village.

Praise

Elite
And down here are some pictures for some parts of our village here and How does it looks like?

Dude he's talking to you from a phone, unless he has a solar panel my guess is yes.....

Good point, but shit we have rolling black outs here in California so its not a totally dumbass question.

What I was getting at .... In another thread he posted what i think @Rebarcock. sent him via package. Rebar said how expensive it was to ship over there. Martin says he needs food so the kids don't starve and obviously shipping food is not going to be a long term solution.

I was just thinking of the best way we could help Martin. For example, I'm curious why they don't do more farming or gardening? If they have electricity and it works well maybe we can send them one of those grow lamps to grow seeds for food, herbs etc. It would be cheap to send, easy to use, and help accomplish his goal of feeding children.

Was just trying to get the conversation rolling, feel free to make some suggestions!

I am trying to figure out how the best way to help is. Certainly we cannot reasonably ship food in quantities yet.

If anyone does want to help you can ship to Mike's village directly. It is hard to ship there from a kiosk in America. Just make sure all information is on the package Screenshot_20210927-085613_DuckDuckGo.jpg

The ditches on the side of the road should be deeper. Rural engineer here.

Need bigger ditches for drainage in heavy rainfall events.

Looks like a lovely place.

I think the rain there is not torrential rain but steady for months. May have something to do w them not being as shallow.
