Notes
David and Steven were in kirwanire village and their intentions of going there was to move home to home while encouraging the residents to improve on their sanitation standards. As they were in the village they met with the village chairman and Gerald muzale the secretary on the Sanitation committee. They joined the kibo staff and moved home to home . During their home to home movements the kibo staff were so much encouraged with Mukisa Hasani the leader of all the VHT,s in the village who was moving encouraging in the lower section at the same time during when the kibo staff were also encouraging in the upper section of the village to . However as David was getting back to the chairman’s home he visited mr mukisa Hassani Wayigolo,s home because he had called the kibo staff to visit his home always but they were failing because of the limited time factor. Therefore when they visited mukisa Hasani,s home he requested the kibo staff to demonstrate for him how the hand washing station would look like. He said he wanted to construct the hand washing station before the kibo staff gets back to the village. David went ahead and drew the template on the ground. Mukisa Hasan had questions like what would be the best position or place for him where he would construct his hand washing station. David explained to mukisa Hasani Wayigolo that the most appropriate location would be close to the latrine in use. Mukisa Hasani Wayigolo appreciated David’s explanation and even promised constructing one before his next visit to the village. After all that David and Steven met at the chairman’s place . They planned that they will be carrying out the demonstration for the hand washing station in the three separate groups to avoid many of the people overcrowding in one place . Hence promoting the idea of social distancing . The Kibo staff ideally requested the village people if possible they would come with their masks on . Also the village chairman promised to mobilize all the three groups so that they would be ready for the hand-washing demonstration . In general according to David,s point of view he saw that there was some new sanitation work progressing .
