Notes
Ida went to Bukudhumira to continue visiting homes and to finalize Community empowerment lessons. She visited twelve homes checking on the chicken coops that were built besides the one for the group and inviting them for the final meeting at the meeting place. Bukudhumira decided to have one group chicken coop because they wanted to remain working together as they used to attend community empowerment lessons. They also built individual coops in their homes which they said will help keep the chics from being eaten by wild birds and animals. In the previous visit to Bukudhumira, Community empowerment program took some pictures of chickens and ducks which they promised to keep and other neighboring villages will come and learn from them. After the exercise of walking to homes, Ida and the rest of the members walked to the meeting place where members were waiting. She thanked the community for welcoming her and the rest that have worked with them and phased out. The chairperson Margaret thanked Kibo for great Love for Bukudhumira village. She thanked the members for attending though sometimes they dodged. They promised to keep Bukudhumira candle burning as per the first lesson. She thanked Ida and Diana for the life lessons , love and patience they showed. Swaibu the treasurer pledged to help whoever is going to keep chickens in connecting with the district vet doctors, buying feeds from Namutumba since he has a motorcycle. The community confirmed the ambassadors who will take charge of the program and prayed for them. These are Margaret Waiswa, Sam , Swaibu, Fauza and Hadijah. Moses Closed with a prayer and the meeting ended.
