FROM: THE ADMIN TEAM
TO: THE BOARD, EXECUTIVE, MEMBERS, DONORS AND WELL-WISHERS
On behalf of the admin team, we would like to take a moment at the end of the year to extend our personal and genuine appreciation to each and every one of you for your valuable contributions, loyalty and support to this organization over the past twelve months. Working with you this past year has been a pleasure and we’re proud to have you all with us. We recognize we wouldn’t be where we are without your support.
Two years of existence of our organization that is constantly and rapidly evolving is an achievement that we are particularly proud of – we are honoured to be here, and even more so to have done it on the back of our consistent strong values of underwriting discipline’
We’ve come through a year that was filled with both challenges and victories. 2018 has been a year of development, expansion and growth for KISDO. We have grown in membership. In March, we launch our sub regional office in Koindu with a library that covers all levels of education. The chiefs in the kissi kingdom promised us lands for future developments. In July, there was an outbreak of buffalos in the Kissi Tongi chiefdom that threatened the lives of the people and crops for which we meaningfully contributed for their control. Above all, we did our official launching on the 20th October in Freetown which has contributed to raising our profile and prominence among kissi organizations. In November, we strongly supported a disadvantaged family in Koindu whose girl child was purportedly kidnapped for rituals but narrowly escaped. All the above achievements are due to recognition of our prudent underwriting strategy, great management team and the hard work of our members.
It may please you to know that in 2017, we influenced the reinstatement of the Koindu market on Sundays and the detonation of the arms and ammunitions in Buedu. Due to lack of support and limited funding, we have not been able to extend our support to other parts of the Kingdom.
Despite all the determinations to unite the kissis with all other tribes across the globe and to develop the kissi kingdom, we have been classed by a sector of people as been tribalistic and concentrating our development only in Koindu. That has unfortunately discouraged some of those people to either leave the organization or to remain dormant. In the face of this, KISDO’s underwriting teams upheld their focus on the Aims and Objectives of the organization. Thanks to those who are still appreciating us.
There is still plenty to be achieved in KISDO’s evolution and we see next year lined up with many successes and great achievements. Amidst all these achievements, our primary focus will be to build on the foundations of the organization. We will continue to improve on our mistakes and expand our services, introduce new innovation, heralding a new era which we are confident will have a positive impact on the organization.
For certain, we know exciting and challenging times await us in 2019, but more than ever we are confident with the team, culture and enthusiasm we have – KISDO has never been better placed to meet these times.
Togetherness is the reason for our bonding. There is no limit to our togetherness and together we will keep serving the organization.
As we approach the end of this year, we want to thank each one of you for being part of this family. We appreciate your great work, commitment and dedication, which have been integral to KISDO’s progress and success.
We wish you all a very happy new year, filled with success, happiness and good health. Have a restful and happy holiday season with your family and friends. We look forward to working with you all in the New Year and wish you a successful and prosperous 2019.
God bless us all.
