Harriet went to Bulyowa to follow up on some homes that were remaining to smear their home facilities.she reached in the village and started walking home to home to check on stove usage and smearing.
It was very interesting to see most homes that were lagging behind when they had smeared their stoves and kitchens. They told HARRIET that when she left their village their families they felt encouraged to smear their home .
Also every home that was visited had a firewood risen stand well stocked with firewood and the participants told HARRIET that they are not worried when the rain season starts since they have stocked firewood to use during that time.
An interesting part of the day Ronald’s MUM who had an old kitchen that was about to fall off and when ever it would rain the stove would be rained on.
HARRIET found when Ronald had rebuilt for the mother a new kitchen and his sisters smeared the kitchen and the stove.
Ronald’s MUM thanked Harriet for visiting their home, being patient with them despite the them being slow in taking action. Ronald also appreciated Harriet for extending love to their family and encouraged them to improve where they had poorly performed.
They promised to always smear their kitchen and the stove every after three weeks so that they can look neat and last longer. Harriet encouraged them to remain working together as a family in order to do more development things and always to encourage and remind each other where they go wrong.
