Notes
Ida went to Kigalama B and reviewed all the three types of chicken feeds. Many people from this community cannot write nor read. But surprisingly most of them memorised some measurements. The four men who took the notes while others were listening did a great job of helping their friends. This community decided that each one must get one chicken from those they have for the group. When it hatches all the chics will be taken to one place of which they all agreed upon. This volunteer will help during the hard times but whoever takes the chics takes food. This volunteer has a big market for chicken. They will sit and decide on what to do next as a group that will keep them united. It's not the whole village but those willing to work together for development. Those who agreed to work together to develop their homes are eight (8).
