This name ‘Waso’ was chosen also because River Ewaso Nyiro North flows along territories of all the communities to be involved in the programme. We had people (Borana, Somali and Turkana) representing Isiolo district and many more from Samburu East. Samburus in Kipsing’ and Ol Donyiro raised concerns in this forum for us to push the caravan’s itinerary to include them in the tour and we did.

All those in attendance were busy taking notes and personally I have a bunch of them that may take me time to compile and I will only post it on Tuesday because we will be occupied the whole weekend.

The meeting was kind of introduction of the idea to Samburu East/Isiolo district and details were left to be dealt with on a workshop organized in Nyeri Green Fields Hotel on Sartuday. Unfortunately many Archer’s residents in attendance wouldn’t be able to make to Nyeri because of attending a wedding ceremony of a friend (Jimmy Lengima) to be held in Archer’s tomorrow. But we promised to attend the workshop next weekend on the same venue in Nyeri anyway.

People in attendance were told to forward their names for those who could manage to attend the Nyeri meeting and a few did. We were also told to let our other friends to know there will be that workshop and if anyone would want to attend please to contact me for more details because accommodation, food and transport reimbursement will be catered for.

Later after the meeting we had our delicious five star dinner in the hotel and it was very enjoyable. So please for those who feel they can help the community in one way or another by being objective and contributing positively and constructively, keep your eye on this programme.

Thanks
