He started a company when he was fresh out of college and worked so hard and so much that he literally didn't know what his apartment looked like in the day time. His goal was to...
A. make a TON of money and then
B. go and do good with it
But when his company didn't take off as hoped, he was faced with a decision. Start on A all over again? Or start on B? Factors such as marriage and risk discouraged him from A. But not sure if now was the time to plunge in to B discouraged him from B.
Then he thought, why can't I do both. Why can't I make a lot of money and help people make a lot of money while I am making a lot of money.

Did you know...
The average woman in Gulu has 7.1 kids
In Gulu the #1 ranked in number of staff has 90 employees
So- this man married a missionary and is in Gulu trying out ways to make money while employing and offering skills to the community. Sustaining himself while also hoping to sustain men and women and their 7.1 kids. But, if you ask him what he does, he says, I'm a house-husband.
I also went to the market with Monica. She was heading to get ovals. I asked what that is. Cow intestines. They are Jolly's favorite.
I finished the day with a delcious plate of beans and rice with Jolly.
Love reading these entries! It's "offal" by the way; i.e., internal organs of any animal for eating. Glad you're enjoying yourself and meeting some really cool people!
