Commerce

Here's a look at a variety of businesses around Masaka. People get very creative about where and how they display their wares; any spot on the street can become a shop. People sell items from baskets on the sidewalk, from baskets balanced on their heads and from pieces of cloth spread out on the ground. It can be a great adventure participating in commercial transactions around here.

A butcher uses a machete to cut the meat.

A suit salesman. He just piles one jacket over another on his shoulders and walks up and down the street. (the shop in the background is owned by our pastor's wife; it's where we get all our photocopying done.)

Street food. These guys are making chapattis.

A typical row of small shops along with makeshift shelters selling more items.
