We know you are bursting with #curiosity by now, but we promise if you #patientlywait a few more days, our plans for 2021 are going to leave you in #awe.

Let's just say this space is #so2020 but won't be for long.

"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship."
--Louisa May Alcott

Just like the rest of us, Charles is staring the past year in the face and #declaring, "#Iamnotafraid!" as he is #movingforward.

The #future belongs to those who believe in the #beauty of their #dreams-Eleanor Roosevelt

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
-African Proverb

These days, #together seems like a foreign word, doesn't it?

We are sure "these days" won't last forever and are just #thankful we have some opportunity to be together.

November 2018

The newly #renovated #cafe reopened its doors in the front room of the new property. It was a LOT of work, but it was all worth it to be able to enjoy this #beautiful and big space every day. The cafe launch was a #hugesuccess.

Our partners are motivated by their deep compassion for everyone in Gulu no matter their tribe, race, economic status, education, or gender.

We want to give a HUGE shoutout to St. Philips Health Center. We are able to provide outstanding healthcare through them for our employees. THANK YOU!

The devastation of the #war #impacted #family & #community.
Decades of terror and #poverty have torn families apart.

Our #localleaders are here to help #mend what has been undone within our community.

[Elephante Commons @Elephantecomm]

One of the ways we love supporting local #leaders in our #community is by selling their #oneofakind items in our #craft shop. Next time you are in town, make sure to stop by.

[Elephante Commons @Elephantecomm]

We #love when our #staff takes time to have #fun #together!

DID YOU KNOW 100% of the profits from the #cafe go to the operations and expansion of Elephante Commons.

Our #pizza is the local favorite, but if you're from out of town, you can't leave without trying the #Acholi Sample Platter, overflowing with our #favorite local dishes.

Oh Uganda!
The land that Feeds us,
By sun and fertile soil grown,
For our own dear land,
We'll always stand,
The Pearl of Africa's Crown.

Happy Independence Day, Uganda!
