My name is Jeff Cash and I am a Christian missionary working in Western Uganda. I'll try to post something here each week
I thought about calling this the ramblings of a crazed missionary. That maybe more accurate than missionary journal.

It is amazing the changes that Cheryl and I have seen since we first moved to Fort Portal Uganda in October, 1995. When we arrived here there were no cell phones, internet cafes, or email. A basic phone call to the states was something like $8.00 a minute.
MAF was the first to bring email to Uganda. It was a basic system that was expensive. They would take all the e-mails and call Europe 4 times a day to upload and download messages. We had to pay for everything we received. That used to get expenses.
I remember getting a message that jammed the entire system for more than a day!
We used to check e-mail using our planet one satellite phone. The connection was slow and cost $3.48 per minute.
Now things have really changed. We have unlimited internet access for a little over $50 a month. There are internet cafes on every corner of Kampala. They have even introduced wireless hotspots.
There are not many paved roads where we live but we can get on-line.
I heard that in Tanzania a little over 10% of the population has electricity but 97% have access to cell phones. It is funny to see a Massai warrior walk out of his mud hut all dressed in his traditional carb except that he has added one thing to his outfit. These days he is likely to have a cell phone clipped next to his sword!
