At half-past-the-deadline for handover of foodaid, we haven't even achieved the
minimum. Only two have paid cash and a handiful have pledged. Could this
reluctance to contribute be associated with the saying that West Nile people
inherently don't want to help their own struggling brothers and sisters--that
they can at best open their 'white teath' to dieing persons? There are so many
capable people on this forum who could afford 15,000 but they are as quiet as
graveyard. I know people contribute at different times and ways but this
project provided us with unique opportunity to prove our worth and express our
solidarity. Besides being a social responsibility for all of us, this help
would manifest our resolve to see food security in the area.
There are definitely defficiencies in publicity of this project but who is to
blame if not all of us? We at our various capacities should have been goodwill
ambassadors of this project so how much have you and i done to fundraise and
publicize?
To bring the project back to schedule, allow me make the following unilateral
annoucements:
1. Annoucements be run in West Nile Community Churches in Kampala such as
Okuvu, St. Francis Makerere etc starting this Sunday to solicit funds. Those
with contacts of Rev. Gelenga and John of MAK should contact them and others
2. Mr. Ejibua and Mr. Patrick Okuni take charge of mobilising their respective
old students.
3. Meetings must start effective this Sunday 4:00PM at DMO's premises along
Jinja Road for kampala residents. Either Mr. Alaka or Mr. Anguzu should chair
the meeting
4. Mr. Tom Aliti, Ayibo, and Eli Nayenda take charge of mobilisation and
meetings in Arua. The 3 are also in better position to have annoucements run
in Arua Churches. Mr. Mr. Aliti should lead this team. Arua meeting must start
this Sunday at 4:00PM at Golf Club.
5. I will notify chairman of Arua Park-Kampala, Mr. Omviti to solicit money
from businessmen(Arua Boys). His contact will be posted here soon.
6. Mr. Anguzu(treasurer) should prepare authentic contributions sheets for
fundraising by various groups.
7. Mr. Afema of MTN and Tabu Butagira of Monitor take charge of all PR,
Marketing, and Communication associated with this project.
8. Chairperson Nile Care should take charge of Mobilization and fundraising in
US and Canada and report back before 30th August 2009
9. Mr. Alaka and and Anguzu be co-chairs in this project and take
responsibility for the cordination of activities by differnt teams.
10. All of us take responsibility for the failure and success of this project.
The above annoucements are made on the basis of my personal judgement on the
ability of the individuals. Whether they'll take on these tasks is yet another
question. I therefore pledge 50.000 that i will give to Mr. Aliti Tom in Arua
this Sunday.

Dear Members,
Below is an update on the contributions for the West Nile Hunger Project.
Tentatively we plan to hand over the proceeds to Red Cross on 4th September
2009 – The thinking is if we want to help in the hunger issues, then we
shouldn’t take too long.
We will invite Red Cross to the hand over ceremony at Alaka & Company Advocates
offices on Entebbe Road .
We still call on members to make further donations and ideally we are looking
at a minimum of UShs 15,000/- per member so this can work and for once we walk
the talk!
My details are below and for now I am the person collecting the donations so
feel free to give me a shout or declare your donations.
