The topic is well worth discussion and a thread for it seemed appropriate. Here's his comment: The name of the CBO: **We have thought of a name that encompasses all our programs and it is:** Community Development watch organisation ( CDWO) and it will have programs like: -Book project for poor students: publishing and distribution of reading materials, distribution of exercise books, pens, pencils to students. -The school project: offering voluntary teaching services to schools, donation of furniture, computers, connecting schools to internet,chalk,textbooks,renovation of existing schools and constructing new schools for poor students. -Antipoverty program: Providing interest free loans to people in the community, provision of technical financial assistance to the community, creating partenerships with different organisations in the same cause. Please you are welcome to comment. Thanks .. _`posted`: http://www.ned.com/group/ugandabooks/news/2/11/
