“Mbarara City is a city in the Western Region of Uganda and the second largest city in Uganda after Kampala. The city is divided into 6 boroughs/divisions of Kakoba Division, Kamukuzi Division, Nyamitanga Division, Biharwe Division, Kakiika Division, Nyakayojo Division. It is the main commercial centre of most of south western districts of Uganda and the site of the district headquarters.[1][4] In May 2019, the Uganda’s cabinet granted Mbarara a city status, which started on 1 July 2020.”
As you might imagine, I have beautiful friends around the globe. Arthur, is one such friend. He and his family live in Uganda.
Arthur wrote to me today with this note. We chat often. I appreciate getting to know Arthur. He gives me perspective about our own challenges in Lincoln County Oregon.
