Notes
When Alex B arrived,he was requested by Agrey one of the community members to check his mangoes and advise him where necessary .It was noted that it is an individual project that lacked pruning and he was advised how to do it. He then proceeded to the meeting where he discussed with community about economic projects,evaluate and assess economic activities. The Lc1 James welcomed everyone and thanked them for turning up for the meeting .He also communicated to them as there was an issue of one of community members whose cow had a problem .It fell down in the pit but community members rescued it afterwards. The chairperson of the community asked them to always attend meetings and discuss on the items that are tabled. Alex B asked the community members to select economic projects that will be suitable for them.The projects that community members will freely involve,participate and finally will benefit them. He gave example of savings and loan scheme that together they discovered that can not help community as a whole but only a few members.He told them also to discuss more about farming how it will help them as community members and individuals.They were also told still think of more economic projects that can be done . Merida suggested to them to grow cotton since it is one cash crops grown in the country .Alex B on that project,advised them to discuss and find out what it needs ,how to do it and the profit that will be realized after the harvest. He continued to ask them to come up with more and have discussion about them. The Mvule staff will continue to guide and advise this village to come up with a suitable economic activity that will benefit everyone and also be supported by kibo group.
