Lesson Taught
Anger Lesson 1: What is anger? 
Notes
Ida went to Kigalama B and reviewed lessons that she taught before. Lessons about Anger and about chicken keeping. Kalakira opened with a prayer and Nangobi led the praising songs.Ida asked the community to remind her about the process of keeping hens. Mr Wambi said that the first step is - to get a chicken, - Secondly to love the chicken - Accept to change the way you care for the chicken. - Nangobi said that hygiene is a must. - Feed the hens with Feeds and water not forgetting treatment. Ida asked what should be done to make five hens hatch at the same time? Wilson narrated the whole process, prepare a place for laying eggs, mark each egg by writing a date. When the first hen starts incubation, boil the egg that was first laid , do the same until the last hen starts incubation and remove the boiled eggs from the other hens.Then get all eggs that were marked and distribute them to all the hens. They will start incubation at the same time. One then should start planning for drugs to immunise the chics after 21 days and six hours. Ida thanked Wilson for the great work and encouraged him to help those who might need help. Under Anger management, Ida asked what causes anger and how can someone prevent or deal with Anger? Sulla said that the most important thing is to love each other and learn people.Forgiveness is also another tool to deal with Anger. Namwase said coming to meetings like the Kibo one where one can learn new skills of how to deal with Anger. She also added avoiding rumors. Wambi added that going to places of worship helps and teaches a lot. The chairperson encouraged the community to stop rumors and focus on things that will build their village and also learn the personalities and characters of people they live with. Some are short tempered while others are long tempered and to Finally love one another as Jesus commanded.Ida asked Kateme to close the meeting with a prayer and thanked the community for putting her lessons into practice.
