<div dir="ltr"><div>Yes, we did meet and though we missed you, we do understand, it is the nature of our businesses.<br><br>Yes,
we did have a good constructive meeting and we will be sending the
minutes shortly but in brief we have decided on pursuing two approaches
and as result setup two working groups.<br>
<br>So between now and the next meeting which will be on at 5.30 pm,
Thursday, 5th Sept, 4th Flr at the Arusha City Complex (next to St
Thomas) hospital we need to actively contribute and discuss online, so
that when we meet and cement activities.<br>

Dear Colleagues,<br>
I couldn't attend the previous meeting on Saturday 17th because I was<br>
not around Arusha on the set date. I hope all went well with this good<br>
initiative. I will be happy to know the result of that meeting.<br>
Thank you.<br>
