After spending two weeks in Uganda, I now have a better idea of what I am going to need long term. I did some price checking and item searching while in Kampala. Some things I can find for a reasonable price... some things can't be found or are so expensive that I won't be able to afford getting it.
Several have requested an updated list so here it is... (I do request that if you get items and plan on giving them to me when I am in NC in August... message me what you have so that I don't end up with 50 pumice stones and no baby wipes!) LOL!
