Re: [WestNileNet] State of the Foundation Address
Thank you Caleb for this elaborate report. For many of us who did not know well what had happened and was happening, this report gives us an insight. I think it is high time we paid up our membership and annual subscriptions. One thing in the report set me thinking for a while. The thinking that WNF is a Lugbara thing is an aspect we should collectively try to dispel. In my experience, most institutions that begin actually do so from an idea of one or two individuals, who in most cases may be of the same tribe, faith or come from the same place. As the thinking spreads with time, this challenge often comes up. In the way the President put it, it does not seem to be an alarming thing; however, I think we should try to demystify it so that we enjoy the benefits of collective bargaining as the people of West Nile. It possible to understand from the organizers Foundation events e.g. the West Nile Night, Education Trust how the attendance or participation has been in terms of diversity of West Nile (different ethnic groupings) and whether there are reasons other than interest or lack of it to explain the trends.

Re: [WestNileNet] State of the Foundation Address
Thanks, Caleb, for this detailed write-up. I hope the emerging discussions on this report by members (after perusal) will be hinged on action needed, not free-wheeling rhetoric. Let's invest our time, ideas, professional or personal networks, cash/material or other such resources to fully lift the initiative off the ground. That appears tto be he clarion call in the President's message, if I haven't adulterated the intepretation. Except for some dropped words, the document is comprehensive and informative. I'm hoping the Foundation leadership particularly clarifies WNF's status; do we categorise it as a development pressure group, civil society organisation, a community initiative, a company limited by shares or just a Foundation so that its operational relationship - opportunities and limitations - with other stakeholders is easier to discern and rationalise. I bow in respect, Counsel!

Re: [WestNileNet] State of the Foundation Address
Dear Caleb, Precisely, this report is at the very core of understanding the underlying issues of WNF. Indeed I would wish to thank you and all the volunteers who have sacrificed to bring the foundation this far. True, the challenges are quite kaleidoscopic in nature, but I couldn’t agree with you more when you mentioned that, like in any other human organization, teething problems always emerge prominently at the formation stage. For me, this report alone is a milestone in the right direction. For example, how would some of us; new entrants, know the account name of the Foundation? How would we have known the rightful committee to address our issues to, if it is not for this report? And so on and so on. My opinion is that the threats and challenges you enlisted require us to work in concert with one another, so we can recreate a West Nile that lives beyond tribal or otherdifferences. Lastly, I would like to thank you and the craftsmen for having developed such a beautiful logo God bless, Kefa From: Caleb Alaka To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 11:28 PM Subject: [WestNileNet] State of the Foundation Address Dear Colleagues, please find attached a state of the Foundation Address for your deliberations, comments, dissection.

Re: [WestNileNet] State of the Foundation Address
Mr Kivumbi, Thats a brilliant idea and I am sure the Excom and the community has not given much thought to this currently but it seems very much in tandem with our overall objective. I am sure the President and excom are going to take this up for policy formulation. Thank you for your enthusiasm. Robert Ejiku On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 11:13 AM, kikonyogo kivumbi wrote: > Good text.

Re: [WestNileNet] State of the Foundation Address
Good text. What role do interested parties to the region, but not necessarily coming from there shall play? Also building partnership with like minded groups from other parts of the country to say " promote mutual development and cultural exchange." A person like me has a history of 100years ties with west nile, from my grand father having made a covenant with a west niler. so, some of us can play roles like fundraising, good will ambassador or even lobbying for student scholarship from Kabaka Education fund or still, even talking to good schools to consider giving one or two or so bursaries for disadvantaged students from the region. i know some well wishers who have schools, may be they need to be reached out to. So, associate interested parties have a role to play as well kikonyogo On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 7:59 AM, samuel andema wrote: > Ha ha ha ha ha... > Kaleb, who told you we don't have leader of opposition in this "virtual > parliament"?
