Thanks Richard for the encouragement. It has not been easy. It takes alot of courage to do such especially among our community where we focus more on "PHD". But as you have said it, we dont do it to get human appreciation but to serve God's people who are in dire need and He knows with what heart we are doing it. I am happy with the progress at ministry of health, it looks slow but this has been one of the fastest because of what we started. I still continue to thank the individuals and West Nile Foundation for standing behind us, without that the activity in Arua that sparked off the process at national level would not have taken place. The policy is almost complete and the plan for vaccination is out and West Nile is in the first phase but as I said earlier if we dont sustain the pressure we can go to the third phase. Am happy that politicians have now taken it up otherwise, personally am getting busy and not able to attend meetings. Eastern region is actually on top of the epidemic but has been put in third phase because people are not pushing strong enough from their region.
