So, it has been brought to my attention that I made a pretty serious mistake in one of my last posts in regards to how much land per acre costs here. I have just been given an estimate today directly from the members of Lazarus Community. In the village of Ntinkalu (where we have our weekly meetings) the prices could vary in regards to who we are looking to purchase from...
However, it seems that an estimated one acre of land will cost us around:
7,000,000 to 9,000,000UGX which equals $2,800.00 to $3,600.00USD ($1.00USD=2500UGX)
...Therefore to reach our goal of purchasing around 5 acres of land it will be quite costly (roughly $16,000USD; keep in mind this doesn't include equipment for tilling or seeds for harvesting). Our new vision may be, although we do not want to hinder our ambition of one day owning 5 acres of land, is to perhaps start with aquiring one acre at a time...the challenge with this approach however, is that when we are able to purchase another acre+ of land it will more than likley not be directly associated with our first plot; yet, we still will pray to be fortunate enough to reach our goal.
Ode to Lazarus Community: you are filled with endless potential!
Thank you all for your support!
Love and Blessings,
Anne Therese
