THEME: CUTTING AND LEVELING OF
OUR ROADS.
In my village, every last
Saturday of October every year is a day of repairing our village roads. After

will be filled. Gutters will be constructed again to avoid water flowing on the
road. After doing that, everywhere will be looking good and it will be
appreciated by all who use the road. After sometime into the year, before the
last Saturday in October, our roads will get worse and it will become difficult
for people using vehicles to use them. My persons thought of what should be
done to solve the problem, they thought of having the repairing twice in a year
but people objected, because of coming home and going back to different places
where they live. After a long argument, a conclusion was reached that after
every three months, those living in the village should help and fill those
potholes to help the road not getting worst. They started it but another
problem came out. Before that three months, there may be a heavy rain once or
twice and it will wipe out the whole thing and the road will get worse again. Another
solution has to be brought out and that solution is now helping everyone. They
reached the conclusion that, anyone that erosion destroys the road before his
house should repay it, not waiting till three months or whatever but with
immediate effect and that has brought a wonderful solution to the problem.
