Notes
David and Steven were in kirwanire village . And their intentions of going there was to continue following up on the new sanitation facilities in the village. They were moving home to home guiding the village about hygiene and sanitation improvement. As David and Steven were in the village they found when the voting of the youth was going on in the village. Because the chairman of the village is an elderly so he was not involved in the voting . Therefore David and Steven were moving home to home along with the chairman mr Hasani Bogere . However out of their home to home movements, they were so much encouraged with mr kalulu Magidu . Because he used to be the most complicated member with in the community. Who used to say that he will never in his life dig a pit latrine . He used to continue saying that his evil sprits never allows him to have a pit latrine . So for the rest of his life he was using the neighbors pit latrine. Fortunately this time round the kibo staff found him while he had started the digging of his new pit and it was about five feet deeper. But the pit kalulu Magidu had started digging was not meeting the standards because the length of the pit was too shorter not conveniently used by any latrine user. Therefore David kept on encouraging him to work hard by enlarging the size of his pitit . They continued and advised kalulu to work hard so that the next rains doesn’t hinder him . As they continued moving in the different homes, members like Mukisa lvan and Ben muzale were promising that after three days they will have completed with the construction of their hand washing stations. After David and Steven, s home to home movements they realized that out of the entire village only two members dint have pit latrines in their homes for example in Wayigolo Magidu and Eriot,s homes. So because of that the kibo staff along with the members in the upper section will be having a meeting so that they will figure out on how to help the above mentioned homes which were still lagging behind. In general according to David and Steven,s overview,they see that the village is ready to get changed.
