Lesson Taught
Anger: Causes and Danger 
Notes
Ida went to Budumba to teach the dangers and also how to prevent anger. She asked if there was any one who has never been angry, No one raised their hand which means all are victims of anger. Ida asked if there was any one with problem caused by anger, Otim said that his brother was put in prison for 18 months because of fighting. Erwaku said that his first wife had a miscourage due to the kick from him. As you all have mentioned the dangers how can we prevent such cases? Otim said by controlling the anger, and then Swaibu asked exactly how? Francis said when your wife annoys you, go somewhere for sometime and relax. Go to the trading center and play gambling or to a Bible study. Salina encouraged the community to love their spouses because with love nothing bad can happen. Otim too encouraged the community to continue attending Kibo lessons from all departments because it’s the only way to learn things they can’t get anywhere.

Program Success
Namutumba has been going through had times since the rains started. Houses, schools, latrines and kitchens have collapsed, but Budumba has maintained the standards of hygiene.
Program Critical Needs
Some need iron sheets to roof the latrins so that they last longer.
Program Ownership
As I mentioned before what the rains damaged, roads are very bad. The community new that the small car will not make it through the swamp, they decided to come and gather and waited for Kibo so that they will help push the car unfortunately it was too dangerous to risk. They decided (community) to have the lesson at the swamp. This was serious and encouraging.
Other Program Observations
None
Program Expected Of Village
To find ways of working on the swamp that people will pass and go peacefully without pushing cars, bikes and more so getting stuck in the mud.
Program Staff Preparations Next Visit
Prepare and pray that God uses the District officers to work on the bad roads.
