[WestNileNet] Nebbi Teenager's Plight
Alaka, I would love that a visit is paid to the family especially when some of us travel for the Easter weekend in Arua. I am also not sure if we should pass through Red Cross or we set up the initiative and deliver it. Your gesture is fantastic however I would love if we can also assess the short term needs (6 months to one year) of this family. The news papers today say, the grandmother plans to take the family to the village to avoid rent which would inevitably affect the young mother's chances of going to school and even the baby's health could deteriorate as a result. Its best to get the baby out of danger first before any decision of that nature is taken. If a room of UGX 6,000 per month is okay for them to live in, I can offer them the year's rent. With other additional help from our good selves on this network we can raise them resources to last them sometime. The immediate assistance to rescue them from dying needs to go as quickly as possible as Alaka has started but more help needs to be got for sometime. Some of the resources need not be money but in kind to avoid mismanagement. In anycase we need also to think about how the resources raised can be used in a sustainable manner. Is the simsim business worth or is there something else they can do? Assistance to them can also be extended in measured amounts over time and not large once. These can be assessed. My take, over to fellow contributors on this network. *"The only thing that will make evil triumph is when good men and women standby and do nothing" * Ejiku, ___ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/westnilenet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[WestNileNet] Nebbi Teenagers Plight
Dear colleagues, You may all be aware about the fate of a West Nile kid hailing from Nebbi who was defiled and has given birth at the age of 13. The grand mother is 28 years. Whereas our lawyers should follow up the defilement issue, my attention has been brought towards the families current problems. According to the New Vision of today, the family stays in a 6,000/= rented place and they can't afford any thing. The young girl wants to resume school, the family survives by selling firewood and sim sim. From the above, I have initiated a basket to mobilize funds for the short term upkeep of the baby, the young mother and probably part of the girls school fees. For this initiative, I have contributed Ug.Shs 100,000/= I will hand it over to Mr. Anguzu Rogers our treasurer and any money we shall have contributed will be handed over to the Chairperson of Uganda Red cross Mr. Tom Buruku on Tthursday this week. Any one willing to help should get it touch with Anguzu. All contributions will be documented and accounted. ___ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/westnilenet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

Re: [WestNileNet] WestNileNet Digest, Vol 32, Issue 35
Dear Christine, et la, I think this effort of reaching the community in West Nile region is long over due. I know there are so many constraints in reaching out the public but efforts to coordinate event of this kind is adorable. The more we improve on our efforts to reach the community on the ground , the better for all of us. Community out reach programs are powerful tools for educating the masses. As most of us know a lot of the problems in our region requires tremendous amount of effort on public education on so many themes. Unfortunately,mass media does not reach the majority of the population. Hopefully, teaming up with Radio Pacis will shorten this bottle neck in the long run. Congratulations??
