Just got some pictures of my house being built in Uganda. Word is it should be done in about 3 weeks!

- 3 bedrooms
- kitchen
- living room
- bathroom (with running water and sewage!)
- garage

Feel free to cough on me all you want if you have yellow fever, 'cause I'm innoculated!

3 shots down, 3 to go

So far I've got (the shots not the diseases):

Yellow Fever, Typhoid and hepatitis A.

This week I get Tetanus, Polio, and maybe hepatitis B.

My arms are starting to look like Courtney Love's.

There was an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday about the whole Microfinance thing.

Kiva is mentioned about 3/4 of the way down.

A new way to do well by doing good

When I get there, I'm going to find that trash can and take a picture of it!
