Did some grumpy texting with a friend. Then I did some journaling to process and figure out what I was really feeling. Then I got on the phone and talked to them, had a real conversation and it was really nice. :) Who’d a thunk?

Tara McMullin wrote a wonderful article about what is possible when folks have security of income. So true! Ngombor's fundraising has a big impact. But they also know I'll keep providing sustaining operational money they can count on and plan for.

I know it's a tough time to do a fundraising drive. From charities to an unending series of texts from political campaigns. But building a farm has to follow the seasons Please consider donating. A little goes a long way

I’m loving what Ngombor will be able to achieve thanks to these folks. Loving the support we’ve had and hopeful for more support (getting a water tank while it’s still the rainy season will do so much). I’d love it if you’d check us out a bit

As some of you know, I'm the cofounder of Ngombor, Ngombor is a non profit based in Uganda that combines agriculture and tech to make a lasting difference in the West Nile part of Africa. The organization is new, but it builds on 20 year legacy/friendship between my father and Vincent Ulargiw.
