Notes
While in this community chris and bamulumbye alex joined the community members who had already gathered at the meeting venue, top on the agenda was to re-estabilish the community values to the new members, discussing about the future of the saving proje t where every one will give their opinions and how much each member was to save but also putting in mind that he community is yet to be registered so members were requested to make sure they had contributed towards the registration of the community at the subcounty. Budumba community members are progressing on well since the introduction of the lessons on economic activities, chris has observed members asking good questions, it is through these good questions that solutions to the challenges in the community are got, in addition to saving money , the community now want to look into the future and venture into different activities. Chairperson, Mr Otim thanked the members who came to meeting however he was not satisified with the number of people who came to the meeting , he ncouraged them to double the number . The chairperson said he had a chance to meet the CDO at his office and promised to join them next week. The chairprsom reminded the community about the proposal on table which was presented mr Kaisu Ronald, his proposal was to invest pary of their savings in tree planting, he projects that if the community plants 20,000 trees, they will be able to reap big in future therefore the chairperson requested members to give their opinions on that. Mr Eddie , one of the community members requested to know which types of trees and know their value as well, he went on to suggest that if it is planting trees , they need to know where they will get the money from and where they will plant the trees while Mrs Aguulo suggeted that they first save enough money before they can start thinking about other projects, she said planning for other projects while they are not yet successful with the current saving project will only divert the community members from reaching their goal. Chris thanked Mrs Aguulo and encouraged the community members to handle one project first before they can add on another project, he requested the leaders to guide the members yiwards acheiving the objectives of the saving project before they can plan on openning another one. The treasurer Mrs mukyaala frolence stated that the saving project is still going on meanwhile the committee will still welcome other ideas to add on the current project however, the treasurer also stated that the committee decided that there needs to be a total of money the community needs to save before openning other projects and also include planning fir emergencies, she requested fir the meeting to be adjourned since it was threatening to rain, the treasurer reported that the CDO would join th community next week to discuss how far they have reached on registering the community.Chris will be continuing with discussions on community economic activities next week.
