The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent. The genealogies were mentioned in reverence, lengthy ones applauded. And courtesy of Enos Oyaya’s book, “Kamnara my people”, anyone who would need help had the documentation. Oyaya had launched the Kamnara book on 30th December 2022 at his home in Kamnara Mwalo, an event that gathered Vakamnara from far and wide. “What can we do that the generations to come will benefit from?” This was the clarion Mr. Kwaka Joseph called on all to fashion their minds to.

MOON; 26/08/2015

 View at University of Portsmouth Library at 20:18 United Kingdom time.

The moon had increased of its shape to a perfect gibbous. In the sky it sat late in the East. It seems that as it grows bigger it verily takes longer to reach the West. And now that I am too unpredictable and impatient I was not be able to observe its set in the West.

I had no camera. It is not mine. I use the organisation's. A fellow volunteer had taken with it to the field and I'd waited for her to come back in the day but she could not. If I knew it would go to this extend of missing the pictures I'd have denied her. But I asked her to take the moon picture for me. I doubt if she did. It is hard to get people interested in what they have no taste to.

From the previous moon in my condition I did not get better. I was worse in the day trying to be strong but when the evening came, I was too weak. I shopped for supper and went in more lonely and sad. It is good to live solely sometimes. It is so unwelcomed other times. I continued to be sick.

When I was rolling East and West on the bed with a hot gaseous stomach- probably a result of the medication, I went to Facebook. It is not in my doing to be glued online in the night. When a toad jumps in the daylight know that someone is after its life. Just then I was tagged in John Mwangi's moon picture. Oh Happy long sick night!
