- Notes
- Ida went to Maliga with Danny Scott and one student from Rochester University to teach about the Tongue.
Unfortunately fortunately found when a community member had committed suicide. He had issues of land with the relatives which didn’t go well.
He got his Identity card, a will and some other staff put them down near the swamp and fell in. The community looked for body for the whole day but all in vain until yesterday at 9:00am that’s when they found the body.
Ida and the visitors went and mourned together with the family members who lost their son. The community thanked Kibo for being a friend in need.
Ida and the visitors left before the burial and proceeded to Jinja.
No lesson was taught.
