Village Notes
The boda guy who was killed had an affair with somebody's wife. When the wife's husband learned that his wife was not faithful at all, he came and warned the suspect who never took the warning as serious but continued with the affair. What the husband did was to plan for the suspect to be killed which happened. Now police is gathering whoever was involved in the murder.

Bible Lesson 4: Loving others 
Notes
Ida went to Ikumbya and taught about loving others. Ida used the story of the Good Samaritan which touched almost every one. Ida asked Nangobi to read from Luke 10:25-37. After the lesson the community worked together with the family members of the woman who was killed by her husband. They agreed to take the orphans to the mother's side. The community thanked Kibo for teaching them how to leave in harmony with neighbors.
