There was a huge turnout to greet us at the community. The water committee was comprised of 3 members from each of the 7 villages in Kolunje. Alex Ogola was the committee chairman. In addition to them were also individuals and representatives of other groups, including the market managers, and women's groups. Also were the elected political reps, and 2 people from the Division Government. All totaled about 70 people.
Their presentation included hearing from each group, 1 person at a time, to explain why they need clean water and their current hardships. A translator was provided.
We were introduced and had our chance to speak.
After the general meeting the water committee was retained and we presented the goals for our trip, and a technical description of the project process.
