There is almost no sign to show that people are getting ready for the upcoming festivals. It’s understandable though but it has taught us a lot.
In the previous years, by the time November reaches, you would know that we are heading to the festive season. The songs, the movies, the shopping, the discounts and mostly the decorations. You can hardly see or hear that this year.
I can personally count the times I have heard or even seen anything Christmas-like being played on radios and televisions.
I understand the year has been tough, I mean who doesn’t want this year to end? Its been so traumatizing, people lost jobs, some lost relatives, businesses collapsed, I mean the list is endless.
However the truth of the matter is, when you have life, you still have a fighting chance to change the story. Let’s not soak ourselves in worry and forget the times of bonding with friends and family.
Worry does nothing but breed more more worry. If you can celebrate the festive season then do so. Yes this time it may be different but you can still make it very memorable.
We can still end this year on a good note regardless of the the things that have taken place. You won’t get anything if you lament apart from sorrow. so, why not just celebrate what you have to celebrate and forget what you have to forget.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
