Dear Colleagues, One thing I have come to discover from this forum is talk,talk,talk,...............,zero resolution and therefore no real action to back it up ! We risk being irrelevant to the very issues that we are championing for advancement-in my view the only useful thing we're doing now is improving our writing skills which is not a bad thing anyway and gaining knowledge that has no practical use or application in our situation !!!! I want to see the executive harness resources,harmonise views,consolidate ideas,seriously follow up issues,and assert itself to direct and take leadership in line with WND goals and objectives,I want to see and know the actions that have so far been taken by the leadership in this forum on all isues discussed. I told one of my colleagues doing his higher degree to refer to this forum to get some information for his thesis paper and he was amused at first about this and he has now taken to following up WND for reference-I hope it is applicable knowledge. By the way the above is in no way blaming anybody and they're my personal views-take it or leave it. Milton

Mvara won the Westnile debate tournament (Sam Ejibua) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 06:49:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Sam Ejibua <[email protected]> Subject: [WestNileNet] Mvara won the Westnile debate tournament To: West Nile Arua <[email protected]>, A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear Christine and all, I would like to thank Christine for this information, I dont know how many people in the forum have been following this (including those in Arua) but one thing I would like to bring to the attention of all is this. The successes scored by the Mvara Students in the district, regional, national and international debates provide an opportunity for this forum to tap into the potentials that exist within our region and motivate students in other schools. A debate on number of students admitted into universities raised in this forum ended with a very low tone with no concrete discussions on what next to persue. Although not sectioned directly in the WNF strategic plan, debates need to be supported and encouraged.One of the objectives of WNF indicated is: Excellency awards to be administered by the Executive of the Foundation. This will be given to the best performing schools in National Exams and will be administered yearly. The rational is to encourage competition among the schools. Very brillian objective above but with no actionable basis so far. If we are to use the building blocks approach to develop our region, we have one such block already to improve academics in the region. Why dont we pick up from this? Meanwhile, even as MOSA prepares to reward and recorgnise the school (Debating club) for this performance, I think it is something worth embracing as a region. Thanks, over to you.

Mvara SS won the recently held Westnile debate tournament. I was also told that Muzamil went upto semifinals in Netherlands in mix debates and he was so impressive. I hope that MOSA will say or do something about this progress.
