2. To set up a community library in aim to support 1 above, act as a resource point, be an immediate Saniaga office, reach out to community.

3. Undertake a Saniaga Yoghurt project as a business idea.

4. Through a Health program, engage people on maternal and child care in partnership with local health facilities.

The 4 points of engagement were deeply discussed, timelines set and reporting is after 3 months when the committees in charge shall submit their doing to the executive.
