What happened to Juliet and her boys?

​FOR ENGLISH; SCROLL DOWN
So what happened to Juliet and her boys?
Ja, hva skjedde med Juliet og guttene hennes..?
Det siste du leste om gutta var hvordan Enocke og Ntabazi hadde det på skolen sin. (https://www.mountainvibs.com/blog/entebbe-childrens-wellfare-primary-school ) 
Jeg fortalte ogsaa at Juliet hadde fått penger til å kjøpe nye sko til alle gutta, men det stoppet ikke der. To gode venner Jorunn og Erling ble inspirert og donerte penger til dem. Jeg satt opp en liste og budsjett sammen med Juliet over hvilke klær de alle trengte, og hun fikk pengene og gikk på markedet sammen med sin søster Mastula. Det er nemlig ikke lurt at jeg handler noe for da tillegges hva jeg kaller “skin tax”. Det vil si at alt koster litt mer for de med min hudfarge. Helt ok spør du meg; vi tjener jo mere.
Så da var det opp til Juliet og Mastula og få så mye som mulig ut av pengene….og det gjorde de virkelig. De var noen kløppere til å prute og kom tilbake med alle klærne vi var blitt enige om, og i tillegg hadde Juliet kjøpt 30 små kyllinger, fôr til dem og vaksine til dem. Ikke nok med det…hun hadde også kjøpt mais-planter som hun dagen etter plantet på sin nye eiendom.
Ja, du leste riktig; NY EIENDOM.

​What happened to Juliet and her boys?
Last time you read about this little family, I told you about how Enocke and Ntabazi was doing at their school (See the story here: https://www.mountainvibs.com/blog/entebbe-childrens-wellfare-primary-school )
I told you that Juliet got money to buy new shoes for the boys, but it didn't stop there. Two good friends of mine; Jorunn and Erling were so kind and donated money to this little family.
Together with Juliet I sat down and made a budget and a list of the clothes they all needed. She got the money and went to the market with her sister Mastula.
If I had gone shopping it would have been added what I call "skin tax" to all prices. That means everything costs a little more for those with my skin color. And if you ask me, that is totally fair as we tend to earn more.  
Then it was up to Juliet and Mastula to bargain and get as much as they could out of the money they got .... and they really did. They came back with all the clothes we had agreed upon, and in addition, Juliet bought 30 chickens, food for them and vaccination for them. She even managed to get corn plants that she planted on her new property the following day.
Yes, you read correctly; NEW PROPERTY.
