Chahilu’s Funeral; Logooli Culture in action

Vuchee, sande ligali for the Mbale premises for our AGM, but let's use the Library for this one, it will give us a chance to see our first project in operation live, but we may revisit the offer around April next year for a review of the Sacco operation and confirmation of laws that will guide us in running the Sacco; subsequently in future we will be looking for such centrally located places for our meetings, thank you and God bless you.

Kibisu Joash: Fantastic place and a very good idea
