Because of the recent arrival of 4 pigs and scheduled birth of 12 piglets that required building stables first, building activities of the Seats2Meet meeting room has been on hold. Scheduled opening of #S2M Bunabumali is now August 2012. 

More updates within the next few days., also about the planned expanison to Kampala, where we will open a Seats2Meet location as well end of this year. This promisses to be a real breaktrough, a rural community in Uganda moving into the capital 

Western Union and MTN also announced today that they will provide 9,000 branded mobile “Yellow Phones” to Ugandans.

Customers who receive these phones must already have an active MTN Mobile Money account or sign up for one in order to use the new remittance service. The phones will be given away via ongoing promotions throughout Uganda over the next few months.
