Joseph went back to the bone hospital Tuesday, he had slightly good news and somewhat bad news.
Joseph is not going to be able to have surgery until July, at least we are hoping its July.
Thats the bad news, the good news is that he was seen by western Drs at the bone hospital, and that they said his leg has been left for too long that now it has to go through a certain process before they can operate. If they operated this week like we wanted, he would most definitely lose his leg, this is why we now wait til July.
We were also able to finalize land purchase this week!!! Very exciting for HCU! The elderly lady we bought the land from had 5 acres, sold us 3, and after we had all papers signed informed Emma that we have 2 weeks to buy the other 2 acres or she will find other buyers. The last 2 acres are the best acres there!!! The problem with 1 of the 2 acres is that her nephew lives on one and has built an Ugandan house there. She was trying to sell without his knowledge. Emma and I went to visit this man, (He is also an influential Muslim leader) and informed him what his Aunt was doing, he was very very upset. He said we will work something out with the Aunt and him.
Please consider helping us buy the remaining 2 acres, the land will be 8 million shillings, 3200 US 2500 Euro, but then we are going to have to buy the structures as well from the nephew. We are thinking 6-10 million for the houses. But that is unknown til we work with him.
Please consider donating so that HCU can own the whole 5 acres.
We were at the land yesterday digging an area for carrots, cucumbers, and cauliflower. Next week I have to go to Kampala to turn in NGO renewal papers, and I want to pick up spinach, lettuce, and many other vegetables. The potatoes we planted a couple weeks ago are coming up very nicely!
We are very excited about this land and all the potential it has for HCU. Thank you once again to our friends that helped us purchase this land, may God bless you.
Blessings
Angie
