Dear Fr Rofino, Thank you very much for all the fforts you have made atleast to asseble a team. As Charles Draecabo has said being able to compose the team and that the team was able to meet is itself a big step forawrd. However in order to be even more focused and in order not to start moving in circles i would think we be systematic and buid on what we have already done. So far a problem has been identified which is that there is a persistent decline in students' performance in schools in West Line which is creating a gap between West Nile and other regions of the country. We would like to get to the root causes of the problem with a view to solving the probem and ensuring that performance improves in schools. A lot of very useful ideas have aleeady been put forward by members of this forum. I recall you were asked to offer leadeship which you have effectivelty started. Mr Alaka Caleb was asked to draft terms of reference for the task force, it appears he has not been able to do that, given he is a practicing lawyer. That seems to be the probblem. Without draft terms of reference we may not meaninful contribute beyond what we have been doing so far. I have followed the discussions that have been going on very closely and printed out all the mails people have been sending on the subject. I have filled one whole box file. As a task force you need to have a secretary who can keep tracking all the discussions and keeping records of these discussions so that we do not lose these useful ideas people are contributing. In fact, a summary of the discussions would have generated the terms of reference we are looking for. The task is there for some one, probably Mr Alaka himself to sit down, read through all the discussion that has been going on, summarise the discussions to come up with terms of service which can be tabled for further input from members. It would be easier for us to discuss a draft than start thinking together to generate a draft in an open forum. Otherwise thank you very much for the far you have reached with the work of the task force. The journey will be long but am glad we have started the journey. Let's continue to talk the walk as we walk the talk. May God bless you and the team. Thank you Sam Andema University of British Columbia Box 34 6335 Thunderbird Crescent Vancouver, BC V6T 2G9 Canada

The meeting of last week did not take place since there was no quorum. I found myself that day with Ambassador Acemah. Those present for yesterday's meeting were: - Ruffino Ezama - Grace Aciro (the new HeadTeacher of Ediofe Girls) - George Ezatirale (Director Caritas Arua Diocese) - Amb (Rtd) Harold Acema - Izio Tata Aggrey (Head Teacher Mvara SS) - Juruga Augustine (Head Teacher Ombaci SS) - Alfred Asiku Tulu (Chaplain St Charles Lwanga College Koboko) Absent with apology - Mike Anewa (Dfcu Bank Manager Arua branch) - Lucy Lekuru (former deputy Ediofe Girls SS) - Martin Andua - Dr Primo Asega - Caleb Alaka - Joseph Etima The TF insisted that the terms of reference be worked and be in place so as to guide the TF outlining the objectives etc of the TF etc. Before we embark on the baseline survey which will enable us reach out to the grassroot we thought of coming up a proposal which will capture a topic, the problem and objectives of what we would like to know from the people and our scope. In case some members would like to contribute ideas about a topic on which we should get focused on can share, and also objectives. Our next meeting is next wednesday April 1st, 2009 from 5pm to 6 pm.
