Notes
On their way to this community Chris and Alex walyomu visited the CDO at the sub county office to update her about the progress of the program in the community, Mvule program has enjoyed the relationship with the government through the CDO since the program started operating in the community, this relationship has many advantages for example the government is aware of what kibo group is doing in the community which potrays the level of transparency and that makes the community and the government to trust kibo group even more, during the meeting Alex walyomu informed the CDO Mrs Zaina that buyange village members planted 300 trees, made their bylaws, elected their leaders, the community is now putting their views together as they write their constitution, the community members put up an initiative to plant more tree seedlings replace the trees that dried up. The CDO in her statement expressed gratitude towards kibo for being so transparent and open to the government and the communities were they work, she pledged to partner with Kibo in the persue jouney of empowering the community of buyange village. Alex walyomu and Chris proceeded to the community to continue with lessons on writing the constitution where they met 46 community members already seeated, Mrs Norah Kasoga reported that the constitution is almost done however members have to intensify the contribution of money to fully complete the binding ,typing and registering of the community group, she welcomed the new members who had just joined the community group and encouraged them to work hard towards the development of their community. Alex walyomu also encouraged the community members to work hard and make buyange village one of the model communities ,he gave and example of naumutumba town, he said they were lucky the town is near the community and therefore they should utilize that opportunity and start producing for the demanding market. This trip was very important because at the end of the meeting every community member pledged to work together and many were seen approaching thebp treasurer to contribute money for the constitution, chris will continue with lessons on constitution writing and introduce our next topic of economic activities next week.
