Notes
Abraham met twelve Kivule community members and the purpose was to discuss what the want to do with the money they have been saving as a group either to divide it according how someone was saving or to leave it until next year. For the first time the group were washing hands before and after the meeting this was because last week they lost one of the community member who was a teacher in western Uganda. The doctors came with the body straight to the grave. They told even the preachers to do their work and when the body was brought they took it to grave. The group has decided to put a washing point so that whoever comes to the meeting has to wash hands before and after. Abraham thanked the group for putting the washing hands point at the meeting so that whoever comes to the meeting has to wash his or her hands before and after. He advised them to teach with their children because the problem is now in their homes. He asked them what they will do with the money they have been saving and those who were around others said they have to get that money according to ones savings. There was some who wanted the money to be kept with the treasurer so that by next year they will start from year. Abraham told them that whatever they decide this is their money and any discussion they make is good but the problem some of the members were not in the meeting because of rain. He advised them to meet and discuss so that for the next meeting they just conclude because this is sensitive issues according to the members. Most of the members want to know what next with their money as they go for Christmas season. The next meeting the treasurer will come with all records because some people were complaining about the amount of money they have saved so far so that each can know how much he or she has saved and conclude wether to divide or leave it so that they will start from there next year.
