Notes
While in this comminity , The secretary through the chairman welcomed the members to the meeting and thanked the mobilizers for reaching every corner of the community. The secretary reminded the members to contribute the money for registering the community at the subcounty, he pointed out to members who borrow money from their saving scheme to also make sure they return the money in time. The secretary also reported about the executive meeting they had on wednesday, he said it has been a long time since they last had a meeting of this kind ,during the meeting they decided to set a deadline of registering new members , he said some members were very rectant to join them because they thought it was an open excercise however they decided to stop at 50 members by friday(today). He also talked about members being lazy to save money in their saving scheme, he said some members after saving money they never come for meetings ,he warned the members that the photos kibo staff takes everytime they come for meetings are for accountability, to see which members are committed, the secretary said community members should be consistent with saving. The chairperson Mr Otim, he thanked the members for keeping time and aslo thanked chris for always coming for the meetings in the community, otim reminded the members who have not yet registered with the community secretary to do so because they will be registering the community next week, he also thanked the committee members who came for the meeting on wednesday and thanked them for passing the resolutions about membership and registration, he said on monday they expect a number of 50 members to be registered, he encouraged the members to bring their concerns to the chairperson or raise them during the meetings instead of them having small cliques. Otim said he invited all kibo programs committee members who included the water committee, mvule committee, the wash committee , he said the reason he invited all the committees is because kibo has been a parent to all the community but whenever their is a mvule meeting other committees do not attend or help to mobilize for the meeting yet they are the beneficiaries of all the kibo activities, he encouraged the tree planting chairperson to encourage the community members plant more trees and take care of them as well but not to leave the work to the chairperson. The chairman reported that they were not able to save last week because many of the mebers had gone for burrial however he reminded the members to start saving today (friday) and requested members to give their ideas about saving, how they will share at the end of the year. Chairperson trees, Mr Kaisu thanked kibo for bringing the idea of planting trees, he said he has been walking with his vice to inspect the trees but whenever he calls the rest of the committee members they are slow to show up howver he encouraged the members to keep caring for t(e trees and not only wait for them. The chairperson mr otim encouraged the committeee leaders to stay strong and lead with intergrity since they are doing a non paying job. Chris thanked the chairperson and his committee for being good examples in the community, he stated that kibo/ mvule program is satisfied when the community realises that they have the solutions to their problems within themselves but it only requires a united community, chris also encouraged the community committee to be so creative and think for the rest of the community, he said saving money without a clear vision will not yield anything, he encouraged them to develop a plan for their project such that the members are aware of what they expect. Chris will continue with discussions on the economic activities next week.
