Baba Ndanyi: Hi all, I believe we have conversed well among ourselves, we have educated each other and it's good that we are still encouraging each other, practically we have a forum of our own, T-shirts with Saniaga label are in circulation we have a library thanks to the great efforts of Patrick Lung'afa, I would like to encourage us to go a notch higher by getting involved in commercial ventures as individuals or as groups, let us support each other, allow us to know what you do so that we can support you by doing business with us.
