Notes
Diana went to Bulyowa to meet with the community, LC1, and to review the previous lessons of community empowerment. Diana got when the committee had gathered. They were all happy to see Kibo programs back in their community. The chairman mr Waiswa thanked the members for attending. He later welcomed Diana to take them through. Diana thanked everyone for attending. She welcomed them from the long holiday and asked them how each one went through the festive season. Wilbur responded that the festive season was good, except that he got terrible cough and flu and a lot of fever, Diana told him that those are signs of omicron, the committee laughed, but Diana insisted that they should be their brother’s keeper in order to avoid spreading Covid. They should wear their masks all the time most especially if they are in public, mean while the community members kept coming. Mr . Waiswa said that the number would have been big, but some parents had escorted their children to school. Diana asked them what they remember from the previous lesson, Margret said that she remembers to take good care of their children so that they don’t dropout out of school, Sarah said that she remembers to always escort her children to school and also do academic check on her children, Diana was really impressed on how these people remembered the lessons, she also encouraged the men to say something, Sabasi said that he remembers poultry lesson, Mpata said that since he started attending community empowerment lessons, his family has never been the same, he sends his children to school, there is mutual understanding between him and his wife. He helps his wife in house chores. Mpata went ahead to say that him and the other committee members will mobilize the community to attend the lessons because they have greatly benefited from them. Waiswa added on that the number will increase compared to the one that attended. Diana thanked everyone one for their time and for putting community empowerment lessons into practice. She told them that the spirit they are portraying is motivational. She told them that she will continue keeping time so that everyone one benefits from the community empowerment lessons.
