KiN Reports
The meeting at the Norwegian Red Cross, Wednesday 6th. July went very well and according to schedule. The meeting started at 16:00 and the formal part ended as planned at 18:00. The well attended funeral meeting gave chance to friends, colleagues, neighbours and relatives of Kalulu to remember the late in speech and shared their memories as they mourned their loved one.

After the opening prayers by Naomi, the chairman of the meeting Mr. Makosir presented practical information and invited the attendees to refreshments as they mingled. The meeting was then informed of the events to follow including the date set for the burial of the deceased.

Kalulu's last employer, Hennie Onstad Bo og Rehabilitering, was well represented at the meeting by several members including his immediate head of department, Anette. The latter and another colleague presented Kalulu as one of the best employees they have had at Hennie Onstad. Kalulu was reported by the duo as a hard worker, always ready to take on his duties as required and did the best to keep humour and joy among colleagues and clients.

Addressing the gathering, Kalulu's immediate former landlord, Mr. Erland narrated the events as they unfolded to the time the body of the late was driven away from the house to the hospital (by the police) for post mortem. He presented Kalulu as a very responsible tenant who was very mindful of other people's welfare. Supporting his presentation, Erland told of the time Kalulu was traveling to Kenya this February and how he had to help drive the late to the Gardemoen airport. He told of the luggage and the fishing nets that filled most of Kalulu's suitcases. The nets were gifts Kalulu had bought and was sending to people at home in line with the late's dream of "giving them fishing nets not fish and they will manage themselves better in life".

Rose and Wanita followed by Munyao Ira, Yusuf, Eunice, Meshach Munyao, Wanyama, Karumbe and Joshua, among others got the chance to address the meeting without interruption.

Munyao Ira spoke of Kalulu as a true brother as he struggled with tears. Meshach continued after Ira and gave a short history of Kalulu which was later topped up by Eunice. Kalulu's niece asked the attendees to be strong and pray for her uncle and his two children.

Makosir summed up the meeting at 17:50 issuing the following program and again inviting the attendees to soft drinks and mingling that lasted to the closing time for the latter informal part of the meeting at 19:00.
