Merry Christmas everyone!
A special shoutout to Hema for sharing these pics. Keep up the awesome work Hema!
One of big challenges of building the school in Buyaya, Uganda was transporting materials to the job site.
Buyaya lies on the side of Mt. Elgon. The first 90% of the journey up Mt. Elgon was easy, but the last 10% was a real challenge. The grade would increase considerably and there weren’t really potholes, they were just plain old holes. I have a vivid memory of my father flipping backwards off a motorcycle he was a passenger on. Fun times.
We had to hire massive trucks to bring the sand and other supplies up the mountain as smaller trucks just couldn’t handle it.
Now that has all changed! The road in Buyaya has had significant improvements.
Not only will this make life easier for our school, but it will make life so much better for the wider community.
Check out the pics of the upgrade below.
