Team,
We must thank the taskforce team to voluntarily take up the responsibility of spearheading this noble cause and Fr Ruffino's passion is really exceptional.... A lot has already been deliberated on the form and context of the task force but I am sure it will make work easier if we provided tentative terms of reference to the task force to proceed. What is our main objective, what do we want achieve, should this first be limited to an audit of the status quo, what areas do you we focus on....

Am glad you too see the need to be armed with hard facts and figures to confront the challenge. It is the best tool we can use to make our case. I wonder what kind of researces our students at the universities are doing. I would expect many students to be competin to research on such practical problems at all levels. Unfortunately the kind of education offered at the universities these days does not prepare students to be of any use to practical problems afflicting us. They would rather concoct abstract things to get first class only to fail miserably in life. I hope some one will follow Mr Adriko to volunteer to compile for us a statistical data on the poor performance for five or even ten years in the past across westnile. I like the work you did on the declining performance in Ombaci in your proposal for the reward project. The statistics speaks for itself. The comparisons are so obvous to make. No wonder you were the best UCE candidate in the whole of Uganda in 1985. God bless. One of these days you have to seriously consider taking the PhD path. I have no doubt what so ever that you will make it in record time. Thank you and have a blessed week Sam Andema University of British Columbia Vancouver Canada --- On Mon, 9/3/09, Patrick Okuni <paok...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Patrick Okuni <paok...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] WestNile Digest, Vol 6, issue 72 To: "A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile" <westnilenet@kym.net> Date: Monday, 9 March, 2009, 8:31 AM Hi Father Thank you for this very simple and snappy, but useful opinion survey. Again the substance came from the women! We need to collect more such opinions and factual information (like the hard data you shared on Arua Hill). I am wondering if we could work together to get a good Education or Statistics student to do a thesis around this issue, to enable us have authentic information to work around with more confidence and authority. Let's give it some thought. Nice week.

I hope all is fine there. This morning I went to celebrate Mass at Ewadri (between Abi Farm and Oriajini). It was nice to wish women Happy Women's day. I asked these people at the end of Mass what (according to them) are causing poor results in schools these days. Out of six people who talked five were women. a) the first woman said this could be attributed too much liking for night dances, eating of marungi which makes their interests to be divided b) another said she heard on the radio that teachers are poorly paid and they dont teach. c) another blamed the UPE USE where children are not to be punsihed thesedays. Children misbehave, they dont respect teachers and even insult them d) one stated that today freedom is free. I dont know what she meant exactly. But she continued observing that they buy kersone for these children to study and they leave the lamps on while they have sneaked out. Some elderly people see these children out at odd times and no body cares about such a situation e) another woman said that they parents cant even offer some lunch for these children. What they could use for preparing food for them are instead sold in the market for cash which is not used for the children. f) the only man who spoke pointed out to the children, parents and teachers all on the wrong. I wish you a good sunday, happy women's day to our sisters -- Ruffino Ezama,mccj Comboni Missionaries P.O Box 3872 Kampala Uganda (+256 77 2 62 42 40) (+256 75 2 62 42 40) ruffino.ez...@gmail.com <http://us.mc301.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=ruffino.ez...@gmail.com> ezama.ruff...@gmail.com <http://us.mc301.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=ezama.ruff...@gmail.com> ruff...@cmpmail.com <http://us.mc301.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=ruff...@cmpmail.com> www.tualu.org <http://www.tualu.org/> -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net <http://us.mc301.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=westnile...@kym.net> http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet % WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co..ug/ <http://www.infocom.co.ug/> The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
