The project has given the Lwemodde Youth Group a lot more
notoriety. This is very beneficial to them so they can build contacts but also
to give people the opportunity to join their group if they want to. I think
that is good for anyone because the group spreads information about important
work related subjects such as crop management and farming techniques. They also
discuss critical information about combating HIV and they can direct people to
many services to help with a very large number of issues. Locally, they provide
much more programming, information and public entertainment than all levels of government
in the area.
Recently, a group which provides financial aid to villages
came through to inspect different leadership teams. Their goal was to find groups
that are highly active and well run in order to have some assurance of the
money being used well. The grid also helped them demonstrate a very wide spread
presence. The funding committee was very impressed at all of their work and so
I think the group will simply continue to grow.

Their next ambitions actually are to get a printer and
photocopier in their shop. There are multiple schools in the area and local
council units which must travel to Kalisizo (30 minute motorbike ride away) to
get such services. They believe it would be very profitable to run this service
and would definitely save lots of travel for people.
