Notes
Both Alex W and Alex B managed to reach out to 43 homes in Buluvu community. All the residents and homes visited were encouraged to actively participate in all the kibo group activities in their village by attending meetings whenever called upon and also have the spirit to work together as a community for the development of their village. Also the people in Buluvu were encouraged to maintain the past activities done by Kibo in their village like the Sanitation activities and keep their homes clean since that’s the key point to development in a home and village at large. It was noted that many of the homes have tried to maintain the good sanitation standards and others whose facilities had declined were encouraged to work on them quickly. Kibo group introduced the new hand washing method in Buluvu sometime last year and on a good note there is a good response from some homes visited. This idea of visiting people in their homes was such a great gesture and welcomed by all residents to understand the plans of kibo group. Many people testified that they never get information in time about meetings with kibo group and this idea would also help to mobilize the community residents to attend meetings with kibo group. Alex W and Alex B divided up into two sections with the community leaders and visited those homes. A brief meeting was then held involving all community leaders and some village residents to discuss more about the values of all community residents attending meetings and working together. Some of the people that were visited quickly organized themselves and attended the short meeting. Kibo group staff will plan to go back on 23/02/2022 to continue with home to home visits mobilizing people and discuss the importance of working together before a community meeting to discuss about tree planting and community development projects with all village residents. 
Next Visit
2022-02-23 - Purpose: To conduct home to home visits in the remaining section and have a meeting with all village residents to discuss about tree planting and community economic projects. Will focus highly on the goals of this program in Buluvu village since there are many new village residents expected to attend this meeting.
