Hello Sam and all, Thanks for the update for the sustainability conference and the conditions that have made its postponement. To add to the other factor is the major crop failure that we have experienced this year due to the failure in rains. My hope could have been that we hold the conference at this time of great challenges so as to come up with simple practical solutions that we can adopt for the period we are in. As a group too we'll be morally uplifting one another. Another factor that might make people not travel in the month of August will be the National Census that is coming up.  Could we also look at other venues out of Kisumu town to hold this conference at a date that will be decided later? All the best comrades RONALD OTIENO OMONDI NYANDO DISTRCIT YOUTH INITIATIVE P O BOX 1 AWASI, KISUMU KENYA.

To: Mendenyo@yahoogroup s.com Cc: Holistichelping@ yahoogroups. com Date: Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 5:43 AM Due to the economic crisis in most parts of the world many people were unwilling to travel. Moreso, the hotel venue for our sustainable agriculture and tourism conference was postponed due to outbreak of Malaria, and reported cases of Swineflu(H1N1) in Kisumu from visiting UK STUDENTS in town. The city council authorities asked us to hold on until further notice! More updates later. Samwel.
