Embarking on a Transformative Ugandan Odyssey
Hello fellow adventurers,
Welcome to the enthralling tale of our Ugandan odyssey – a journey filled with excitement, cultural exploration, and unexpected detours. As the Executive Director of Agri Planet Africa, I was excited to visit our team in Uganda. This trip was not only an opportunity to connect with our project’s progress but also a chance to immerse myself in the rich tapestry of Ugandan life. Recommended by CIYOTA, I joined forces with the Love Africa Christian mission group, setting the stage for a remarkable adventure that transcended the boundaries of religion and embraced the spirit of unity. Despite my Buddhist beliefs, their warm welcome and invitation to lead Team 2 showcased the beauty of diversity and camaraderie during our international travels. Our journey began excitedly at Will Rogers Airport, but unforeseen flight cancellations and alternate routes added unexpected twists to our story. As we ventured through Washington D.C., Rwanda, and finally landed in Entebbe, Uganda, we discovered that life’s journey is as much about the detours as it is about the destinations. Embrace the vibrant culture, the camaraderie with missionaries and refugees, and the enchanting experiences that shaped our Ugandan odyssey. Join us as we share glimpses of this transformative expedition and uncover the invaluable lessons that only the road less traveled can reveal. Stay tuned for a captivating narrative of our unforgettable Ugandan adventure.

As the Executive Director of Agri Planet Africa, I am proud to share my journey with this amazing organization. Our current project is to produce fertilizer using commercial cow manure collected from local farmers. This has a twofold effect; it helps boost the local economy by paying farmers for their cow’s manure, and it also provides an alternative solution for cows that are nearing the end of their life or are sick. Rather than selling them to butcheries, our organization will purchase the cows so they can live out their lives on our farm, and we will continue collecting manure from them.

It’s easy to forget that the people of Ukraine are still at war and under attack. The conflict can often slip out of our minds, yet it has been ongoing since 2022 with no end in sight. There is a horrific human cost to this tragedy – thousands of civilians have been killed and injured, many more uprooted from their homes, and still, others suffer from the toxic legacy of burned cities, displaced and poverty-stricken children and adults.
