Notes
Martin and Steven, were in Busene, their intention was to conduct a village meeting in the lower section. To discuss about the progress of the program and what needs to be done to get everyone to work and also to encourage on construction standards and the use of good materials. Unfortunately, Martin and Steven, had only the Chairman LC1, VHTS and the sanitation committee members. They waited for all most any hour, without seeing any community member coming to meet. One of the sanitation committee members told the group that maybe, they are fearing because they are thinking that they are going to arrest them. Because in the government policy, they just arrest people, they don’t encourage them to work on their home facilities. So when they saw that now one is coming to the meeting place, the group suggested that, they can not live the place without doing anything. So they decided to walk home to home, to encourage the community members about the construction standards, maintenance and the use of good materials. Generally, according to what group saw in that village, the community members are busy digging their new pit latrines and constructing them in a strong and a better way, with bricks and cement, kitchens, dish racks, rubbish pits and shower areas. As the time was going and kibo is still working in that village, the group walked in 36homes, because the homes are close to each other.
