Yipee! The folk tales project is funded. Because I have not raised the money for my travels, I have a kind friend who is doing his dissertation in Kampala. He wanted to experience some of the local culture, "get back in the field," so to speak; so, he has committed to interviewing five tribal elders for me. He will audio tape the interviews, paying each elder $25. Remember, many Ugandans live off of $1 a day! He also has a translator that is going to translate into English. Our hope is to put the these tales together as a book as sale them to raise money for Humanitarian Projects in the Luweero District of Uganda.
I am so excited about the possibility of preserving Ugandan Culture AND making the money that I need for my first trip. Thank you to all who have donated!
We still have the Soap Making Training Project and money for my travels, where I will be doing teacher training in Bugabo. So, please donate. Peace and Love!
