One of the best 'boutiques' in Lukaya

Summer Greetings, Friend,

Would your graduate friends and family be thrilled with a gift from this emporium? Perhaps not, but it's a veritable wonderland for my Ugandan companions. From stylish clothes and sturdy bookbags to cozy blankets and comfy mattresses, this shop has it all – and more!


What makes this place special is the shopkeeper herself. Need a mattress in a different size? No problem! She'll call a friend who runs another shop, and they will send it over via bicycle. It's all part of the fun. Red dust—no extra charge.


Chatting with these skilled merchants is part of the shopping adventure in Lukaya. It's a chance to connect, share stories, and appreciate the human interaction that breathes life into every transaction.


Life is indeed good in this vibrant corner of the world – a celebration of community, resourcefulness, and the simple joys that make every day a little brighter.


Gratefully,

Elaine
