 Financial constraints had started to curb the activities of the Federation and there was a great possibility of these activities to come to a halt at any time. There was despair all around. There also arose people who confidently said that an observation of financial situation all around did not give any hope of raising more than Sh 100,000 if any efforts were made to start a collection drive. During these difficult times, you strongly encouraged us and stood shoulder to shoulder with us in our common aim. I wish to pay tribute to your enthusiastic encouragement with gratitude and deepest appreciation.
