Village Meeting

I met with the representative from each of the 25 villages and they talked about the problems they have in there village. It is mostly education on how to treat people with illnesses. There also is a need for wheel chairs, crutches and walkers. 

Everyday I am studying swahili. I am trying very hard to pick up the language. Everyone says I am doing a good job of learning. 



I have talked with people from many different villages and they have many stories. There is one child who has seizures and so they took the child to the with doctor. I said no your child probably has epilepsy. The child needs medicine to help control the shaking. I feel a lot of the work here is education and providing the tools they need to excel in life. 

There is a need for environmentalists here. Teaching people how to treat the land. This use to be a densely forested area. But farming has destroyed most of it. Erosion is also a problem here that one can see. The good thing is the universities are growing. People here are starting to get educated. That is good because they listen more to their own people than to white man. However they still need to see results before the believe or even try. 

 KCBRP is building a rehabilitation center for the physically disabled . This will be an education center where the family comes and gets training for one week on how to deal and treat there loved one.
 It is a beautiful view from the back of the building.

 25 representatives came from each village to Kayanga Anglican Church to discuss the problems and challenges going on in the village. We then gave solutions to the problems.
This is Aggery talking to the people on who to educate there local villagers.
