We do not need somebody from kampala to make a presentation. They can only be there to introduce the idea but the presenter should be from Arua. Cafe takes place in places where people are gathered for their own leisure purposes, as they enjoy either coffee or beer or sodas. This can be a bar, restuarant or local brew joint, though we have tried to modify due to public demand to have it in churches in Entebbe. The idea is to make it a simple and free discussionas people, the people should be interested in discussing issues that affect their lives. They choose a topic and we get the right person to make the presentation. The presenter does a 10-15 minutes presentation and people start discussion in terms of questions, contribution etc. Yesterday the next topic suggested was estate administration of the property of the deceased, this was noted to be a major problem in terms of the frequent fights which our legal fraternity is battling with in court all the time. In westnile we know the trend, when a man or woman dies, the children and or the wife are stripped naked of the property of the deceased by the relatives and this has caused so many problems becuase we do not write wills. There was a suggestion to have it broadcasted from here live on radio pacis. This could act as an example of how cafes work for the Arua team. Then a committee will be formed in arua to continue with it like in Kampala. The committee of kampala is to liaise with Arua and radio pacis in particular to have the next topic broadcasted so that people in the coverage of radio pacis can benefit but unfortunately they will only be able to listen but not participate. If there are other radio stations that would be able to do the same, we would be happy. Our legal team who were present yesterday agreed to get a facilitator from Administrator generals office for this discussion, so it will be important for many people to benefit from it. what I suggest for now is for you and Asindua to work with the Kampala team to have the next cafe broadcasted live on radio pacis and this will be the starting point. We dont have to have it necessarily broadcasted on radio but this suggestion was to ensure more people benefit, basically we need to identify a popular joint with regular members and consult with them if they are interested, if they agree we can start with them. It normally happens over the weekends once a month but the group can agree to the best time. If radio pacis agrees to do live broadcasting from the joint, this would be an added advantage. So to start it in Arua, you need to help us identify such a place in Arua so that we can start it. Please let me know if you need more clarification. Thanks Christine On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 5:23 PM, Andua Drani <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Christine, Let me apologise for my inability to render a respponse in regard to the pledge I made to contact the managment of Radio Pacis to host the Scince cafes. I did contact the Arua Diocese Health Coordinator, Asindua Philip who is receptive. He has a weekly health programme where the the key presenter is Dr. Onzubo Paul, the Arua Municipal Medical Officer Health. I am not sure how you intend the presentation on the radio is to be done: whether we use a locally based expertise or presenters in Kampala will travel to Arua. Let me know so that I can get back to Asindua. I am trying to secure his registration on the WNnet for ease of the coordination work. I also suggest establishment of simmilar arrangements with other FM Radios in the region, esp. those in Moyo, Adjumani, koboko and Nebbi.

You had promised to talk to radio pacis about hosting science cafe discussions in Arua, is it possible we can get a feedback from you or you are still in Kampala. I have got many emails asking us to take science cafe to Arua and Koboko showing the demand but I think having it on radio pacis would be the best to cover our greater Arua. We would be happy to get a wayforward from Arua. We had initially discussed this with the District Health Officer and he was too much willing to be part of it. I think the good will is already there so we need to plan the move. We shall also have a discussion tomorrow to plan how the Kampala cafes will be organized. A committee will be formed for this purpose under the umbrella of westnile forum. Part of this was discussed in the previous cafe, we shall concretize it tomorrow and post the feedback here.
