Great gesture comrades,
The team at the helm of the up coming West Nile Culture and Heritage Event will
have a special basket to this cause.
Gbu and kind regards.

Alaka,
I would love that a visit is paid to the family especially when some of us
travel for the Easter weekend in Arua. I am also not sure if we should pass
through Red Cross or we set up the initiative and deliver it. Your gesture is
fantastic however I would love if we can also assess the short term needs (6
months to one year) of this family.
The news papers today say, the grandmother plans to take the family to the
village to avoid rent which would inevitably affect the young mother's chances
of going to school and even the baby's health could deteriorate as a result.
Its
best to get the baby out of danger first before any decision of that nature is
taken. If a room of UGX 6,000 per month is okay for them to live in, I can
offer
them the year's rent. With other additional help from our good selves on this
network we can raise them resources to last them sometime.
The immediate assistance to rescue them from dying needs to go as quickly as
possible as Alaka has started but more help needs to be got for sometime. Some
of the resources need not be money but in kind to avoid mismanagement. In
anycase we need also to think about how the resources raised can be used in a
sustainable manner. Is the simsim business worth or is there something else
they
can do? Assistance to them can also be extended in measured amounts over time
and not large once. These can be assessed.
My take, over to fellow contributors on this network.
"The only thing that will make evil triumph is when good men and women standby
and do nothing"
Ejiku,
