Tom picked up the health assistant and went to kalalu village. They were welcomed by committee members who had well mobilized the village. The committee members addressed the meeting first were they encouraged the village residents to work and improve on their sanitation and hygiene. They also thanked those that have participated well and encouraged those that are lagging behind to also work hard and improve. The health assistant thanked the health committee members for the great work they are doing and encouraged them to continue sensitizing fellow residents on the importance of living in good sanitary and health environments. She also thanked kibo for the great work it’s done in the village to improve the sanitation and hygiene. She also cautioned the village residents who are working to sabotage the health program that its wrong and punishable by the government. She echoed the fact that kibo and the committee members are not working in Kalalu village following their own mandate but rather that the government of behind and its the one that sent kibo to the village of kalalu.
