Hi Richard, Thanks for the brilliant idea and timely communication. I wish to table two suggestions;
- As the Kampala meetings go on, can we get another smaller group to meet and coordinate issues in Arua in conjunction with you? - Arrange to design and print beautiful T shirts which can go on sale immediately in Kampala, Arua and possibly in Congo (Aru and Ariwara) since we also have our cousins across who might wish to be part of the celebrations. Thank you and God bless, Jimmy On Sun, Apr 6, 2014 at 10:50 PM, Okuti Richard <ok...@asili.co.ug> wrote: > Dear Brothers & Sisters, > > > > Reference is made to the above subject, some of you might have read about > it or watched some clips in the media, Where West Nile marks 100 years as > part of Uganda.
