A Briefing for the Bishop

Dear Friends, Members and Partners,
After our 1st AGM in Nairobi on the 6th August 2013, a Team of Kimisho Leadership went to Bondo for a Meeting with a few other colleagues and more so to brief the Rt Rev Johannes Angela about the AGM.
The Rt Rev Johannes Angela is the Bishop of the ACK Diocese of Bondo and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kimisho Community Development Network- KCDN.
The meeting was attended by the following;

1. Ms Janet Winnie Ogot- Board Member- Kimisho,
2. Mr. Isayah Bwana- Finance Director- Kimisho,
3. Mr. Fred Banja- Tresurer- Kimisho,
4. Ms Emily Achieng- Team Leader- Kisumu Kimisho,
5. Mr. Philemon Odhiambo- Team Leader- Kimisho Siaya,
6. Ms Millicent Ogwel- Secretary- Kimisho Kisumu, and

We also had an opportunity to share our thoughts with;

1. Prof John Alwar Ajuoga- Great Lakes University of Kisumu,
2. Ms Valerie Onyango- Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology,
3. Mr. Ken Omamo,
4. Mr. Joseph Kwaka and
5. Ms Florence Achungo.

During the meeting, members present agreed that on issues of economic empowerment, we had to seek several vehicles and partners and work with the teams we best feel comfortable with. Kimisho is hence on the right track and we are inviting only those who feel comfortable working with us to join in our vision and train. We have set our target on Registering 100,000 Members out of the 44 Million Kenyans. This means, the remaining 43.9 Million Kenyans are free to associate as they wish with initiatives of their choice. And we at Kimisho will be encouraging all those who feel they can add value to our economic empowerment agenda across Kenya to do what they can in their own way as well.
We then attended a fund raising in aid of Got Matar Secondary School in Yimbo where a total of Kshs 483,600.00 was raised for the School Bus.
On Sunday morning, I was invited to share with the faithfuls at the ACK Bondo Cathedral about Kimisho and our Vision.
We are happy that we have passed the first tests with distinctions. We are now set on Phase 2 and on Saturday the 17th August 2013, we are hosting our 1st joint Board, Management and Supervisory Committee Meeting to chart our way forward, set our agenda and design our work plan for the rest of the year.
This includes massive mobilization, massive subsidiarity and massive complementarity.
We have also set The Kimisho Investment Club and I am happy to report that 18 Kimisho Members have already shown keen interest on this Initiative. We are also happy to report that we will be hosting our 1st Investment Club Meeting in September and the Rt Rev Bishop has accepted to host the meeting at his residence when the date is set.
We are a Family and we are all joining hands and resources in this massive Journey of Hope across Kenya.
We can do it and we are hence doing it.
