Alex B also used that time to observe the community basically how much trees are in that village.The community grow groundnuts as one of their cash crops.

They later managed to get to the meeting place and the community members were there ready for the meeting. The meeting began with prayer that was led by one of the community members. The Lc1 gave his welcome remarks as he thanked them for turning up for the meeting.
