Notes
Yesterday Alex B and Chris went to Nabituluntu village, Alex and Chris have been in series of engagement kind of dialogue with the sub county officials to find away of uniting the community which has for long been dived along political lines. Mvule was invited to be part of the dialogue because the government believes that the kind of relationship Kibo has with the community is so pivotal in bringing the community together and so in that capacity Alex and Chris have become part of that dialogue, however, in the last meeting we resolved to get a new meeting point which is neutral to the community members and also invite the local leaders together for harmony to prevail so this is basically what Alex and Chris went to do the village. Alex B and Chris first went to the sub county offices and were able to mobilize the LC 3 chairperson, the Parish chief, the LC 1 chairperson to go to the village unfortunately when They reached the community, they were welcomed by bad news that two of the community members had lost relatives so every one was rushing to go for burial. Alex and Chris had nothing to do but to join the community members in mourning with them and show compassion to the families that lost as well as mobilize the community members for the next meeting. Alex and Chris agreed with the local leaders on the neutral venue and date of meeting, they agreed to meet at the church being that its in the middle of the village and that every member can access it easily, they agreed to meet on 30/03/2020.
