Notes
Abraham met Kazimbakujira community members to continue discussing about community economic project. They started contributing money to buy a tent but last time they saw that it is a long term project because it will take them long to contributed one million two hundred and forty thousand shillings which is the balance remaining for buying a tent. They are hoping to buy a tent of two million and fifty thousand shillings. The chairperson of the community Mr Luka Sharpply told the meeting that they received a body of one of the community members who died of motor accident in Tororo town and some community members had gone for burial. He said that they are still thinking of doing something which can bring them together even if they are hoping to have a tent it is still a dream but they need to do something. Kasolo Richard one of community member suggested that they can grow tomatoes as a community so that the money they will raise can go to the tent because for him he has an experience in it, he said he used two hundred thousand shillings to grow tomatoes and he got six hundred thousand shillings after the harvest. He encouraged the community to adopt the idea because for him he gave some tomatoes freely to some community members. Abraham encouraged them to think about where they will put the garden if they take the idea of Kasolo, are they going to rent the land or one member can donate, how much money will be needed for cultivation, seeds and weeding. He thanked Mr Kasolo Richard for his advice because he has the experience and he will guide the community even some can do it on individual bases. They said they are going to have another meeting where they will discuss about all of those issues and in the next meeting they will be discussing how to start the project. Kazimbakujira is now on the community economic project but we do not have a new lesson format and we are still using the old that is why I selected community meeting as a lesson.
