Jinja Day 3 and 4
The internet connection was very slow last night so I could not upload the daily post. So at the moment as I type this we have completed our work at the second SACCO in Jinja and are now back in Kampala. The other 2 Uganda teams are back as well and we all got together to reunite over dinner and swap stories about the last 2 weeks. You’ll recall team 1 and 2 had travelled to western Uganda to the districts of Kununge and Busheyne (the spelling could be off). Both 
are 9 and 5 hours away from Kampala, while my partner and I were in eastern Uganda. The 2 days at this final SACCO was another great experience as we interacted with some very interesting people on staff and the Board. We visited a poulty farmer, a fish farm where they ran a tilapia hatchery and a number of bisiness’s and schools that were all members of this SACCO. This was the best run SACCO we’ve seen so far. The young mother of 3 that just had her 3rd baby a few weeks ago runs a very effecient operation. In fact I liked her so much i’m going to see if I can get her involved in the CCA’s
