To mention but a few organs will be - entrepreneurial, resource mobilisation, Project management, Quality control among others. That will keep us going and we shall consider it a meeting. And largely, here (WhatsApp) is a 'meeting' forum too!

Fanuel Saniaga: Ok...i get it...

Atsiaya Cousin: I think I need to applaud the great minds in the drafting of the constitution. It is a step in the journey that exudes the group's seriousness. Am down for it.

Kibisu Joash: Our parents were unable to excel due to communication. Making phonecalls was a luxury. Now we have the communication gadgets to enhance our agendas.

Lung'afa: But our grandfathers walked miles to reach saniaga homes. Excuses started with our fathers
