The chairperson started the meeting by reviewing what they had discussed before Alex and Chris visited, this was encouraging because now the community is able to meet and discuss how to develop and work together, a thing Alex b and Chris have been advocating for. The chairperson said the members agreed on the name of the group and the activities they plan to do as a group , the name is bakusekamajja mvule community group while they plan to rear chicken as a group. The chairperson thanked kibo for guiding them towards development and working together and promised to continue working with kibo to see that their community improves their standards of living. Chris also encouraged the members in the meeting to think beyond and have bid dreams for their community and then work towards achieving their dreams however he said this is only achieved when they start working together as a community. The chairperson requested for a sample a constitution to guide them as they discuss about drafting their constitution.
