Notes
Alex B met the leaders of the three small groups about the holes they dug for demonstration. He wanted to find out if they understood what was told to do. They did it together with all the leaders. We started with Paul leader of group A. On his land he dug 10 holes and it was noted that distance between was good but with the boundary of the neighborhood is bad. Together ,we asked him to repeat the exercise while leaving recommendable distance that will not cause misunderstanding as they plant the trees. When the tree grows big it will spread the branches beyond the boundary.Since we advised him ,he will also help his friends in the group to make right. Together also went to group B to find out how it was done. This is the secretary Waiswa Kagoto . Seven holes is dug and for him a lot was observed. The distance from the neighborhood is okey ,the size of the hole good and from one to another was recommended by members. We advise him to look for compost manure and fill the holes. With him we came across of a stump of a tree that was cut off but was in the boundary. Since we were discussing of being concerned of the neighborhood as the plant the trees,something came out of his neighbor about it since he was also present. That triggered everyone about leaving space . We all recommend him to advise and help those in that group to dig the hole since the leader made right . We managed to check with group C of waako Yahaya and Secretary to find out how holes were dug. We noted that all the holes were dug close to the road and he did not leave enough space between.He was advised to dig others while leaving enough road reserve We also told him leave space construction of buildings and pit latrines .The size of the holes was good but distance from each other was bad. He accepted and promised to dig other while observing the advise that was given to him. His secretary Alice since they are neighbors mistakes made are related .We asked him to pass the same advise that was given to him to others.that are to dig them. My next visit we shall check with leaders of group A with fellow members and also in C to find out how they managed to correct the mistakes. I will be checking how they would have filled the hole with manure since planting of trees is supposed to be done in August 2020 this year.
