Notes
Purpose of the visit in Bulyowa village. Manuela went to Bulyowa village to meet with the community leaders, hold meeting and then do home to home mobilization. This exercise is very important because it enables the participants to be aware of the resuming dates of Life Skills program. Manuela was warmly welcomed by the leaders, she greeted them , got seated, she asked them how they are doing and the rest of the entire community, Manuela also asked them how the Christmas holidays was, they responded that everyone is doing well, the chairman who is also one of the leaders of Life Skills program said that, they did not have any problem with people this time like those years that there used to be lots of domestic violence men and women would fight over unserious things like when the man did not buy meat, clothing and etc. But this time due the lessons learnt from Life Skills program, most people have changed their ways of living, another man also added that, most children in this village have gone back to school and the few which are still at home will also go soon, he also said that currently people are being vaccinated which is good. Manuela told the to continue encouraging people to get vaccinated for betterment of their lives. After that interaction, Manuela told the community leaders that by the end of February she will be phasing out of the village but she will be teaching students at school , Manuela also brought the idea of changing the meeting position and teaching home to home, one of the leader was so happy with the idea, and he said that how he wished this ideas was brought at the beginning of Life Skills program, life skills program might have reached everybody in that village, Manuela totally agreed with him. Manuela told him that, it’s new ideas and we are going to try it and see how it will work, Manuela also encouraged the mobilizing team to try and mobilize everyone in this village and get sections were meeting will be conducted. During the meeting, theses leaders sighted some place where they will be meeting and they told Manuela they are going to work on that. After the meeting, Manuela and the community leaders moved in some homes, while they were moving in those homes, they also managed to monitor some of the home facilities that was constructed by Kibo Group staffs, for example stoves and hand washing facilities, Manuela have realized that most of the community members in Bulyowa are using hand washing facilities because the stand was wet meaning they are using it. After visiting some home , Manuela and community leaders decided to stop because they were tired and she encouraged the leaders to continue with mobilization in the next day, she will make calls to check on the progress.
