Notes

Abraham met six community members at the site where they are building a house where they will put their rice milling machine. The purpose was to discuss how they are going to work after the group receive a rice milling machine. This group was given twenty million shillings as a loan from the bank and they managed to use that money growing more rice. They took back twenty million shillings with some profit and the bank asked them to take another loan of forty million shillings but they refused saying that they have already got the capital. They have done well with growing rice and the government decided to give them a rice milling machine to help them not to move long distances to mill their rice. The chairman Mr Bwiiso thanked Kibo for the good work done because basing on that work that is why they blessed to get a milling machine, he said that they still need Kibo for guidance. He added that they are going to get power because they government saw that they can not use diesel machine and they promised to bring power to the village. Abraham thanked the members for the unite they are showing building such a big building and advised them to continue with discussions because they are going to face many challenges of how to keep records,finance, communicating to the members so that they don’t feel they are left out. He told them that he will arrange with Buwologoma leaders so that they can share the challenges they past through because they are a hand of them. The chairman said as per now they can not meet as they used to meet before Coronavirus but they are now going to work on record keeping. He said that let Kibo not leave them but to continue I touch. Abraham told them that he will be working on getting a time for some of the leaders to meet with Buwologoma leaders to share their experiences with them.
