Dear comrades, we have spend two years writing on the internet, debating sometimes endlessly with no conclusive action plans. if we continue doing thngs in this way, we are simply spining the wheel in circles. Buddies this is 21st Cenntury. We have to learn to work together as a team or else ???
Let us be practical and pramgmatic in solving some of the problems staring at us right in our face. e.g. poor performce in schools, poor healthcare deilvery, dry hospitals with no medications, etc, etc. Start from simplest problems going to the most complex. Number one, let's form effective commitees on the ground to look at some of these problems. Lets bring the heads of departments in our region together and HMs on the board to look at these challenges. They are managers dealing with these problems day in, day out. When people volunteer to lead, do it with one heart and mind. Sometimes we promise to volunteer but never deliver, this way of doing things is suicidal for the welfare of this community. If we can only sacrifice 1-2 hrs in a month to help address some of these issues x 400 members = approx 400 - 800 volunteer hours. We can accomplish so much if each one of us can just sacrifice a little of their time. This is not asking too much. I know we all have to struggle to survive. Talking without concrete solutions will not do us any good or favour.
