Notes
The opening prayer was led by Mrs.Mutooto as the secretary of the community Mr Moses guided the meeting in absence of the chairperson. Alex W thanked the community for the turn up and encouraged them to continue with the same spirit. He asked the community to get ready in their homes before goats are given to them by kibo. He told them that during his previous visits to this village while checking on the requirements to be met by all community members before receiving goats from Kibo group, he noticed some great improvements but also some homes needed to do more to meet the requirements needed. It was noted that the lower part of the village where Pande Peter the treasury for the community resides has done more improvements. The community leaders were tasked to ensure that all community members meet the required standards before the next visit. He also pointed out some members like the home of the chairperson Saul that some of the house need smearing. He told the community members that during his previous visit he met with Mr. Pande Peter who explained to him well that he had benefited in the project of fish farming.The fish pond is of certain type of which is not expensive to care. When they were sharing,at that time Pande was ready to offer one of the ponds to community members for economic project. Alex W advised the community to think and discuss more about that project.The project requires the community to contribute money to buy the young fish and raise them. He advised them only to get someone who is skilled to advise them how to make the ponds better for good results. The community leaders promised to work together to ensure all the members meet these requirements and will plan another meeting with all the community members to discuss in depth about the fish project. Alex B noted that during his absence when he was on leave,the community was concerned. The lesson of care for goats was introduced.This will help them how to look after them .He told them three major factors they should bear in mind.One is that they were asked to have good place for keeping their goats during day and night.The grazing area that should be good enough and goats should not feed on contaminated things that will lead them to fall sick.Lastly there was a discussion about important it is to treat any goat when it is sick. During the next visit to Bupaluka, they will plan to move along with the veterinary doctor to teach this community more about taking good care of the goats and exactly should be done for the community members to benefit from their goats.
