Bernard Buga Vigga, Great initiative! I very much support your idea of building a thoroughly crafted website for the West Nile Foundation. Those who read our main newspapers like The Monitor or The New Vision, will bear with me that very little information is given about districts and towns in West Nile Region. Probably this is due to the weight of managing heavy information data country wide and the interests of the newspaper agencies which determine the performance of their gatekeepers. Creating a good website will provide a digital window, first of all for us people of West Nile region and for the international organizations to see, judge and act on developments strategies in our Region not basing on rumors and prejudices but real events as they unfold.
I would like to suggest that those technical people examine the quality and quantity of communication the website of Arua district<http://www.arua.go.ug/index.php>(look at *News and Events*) offers to the cyber world in order to avoid similar errors with our own. Bravo Buga!
