Heavy responsibilities for elder aunt among the Logooli

With Seenge Fonesi. She is the elder grand daughter of Isagi and elder daughter of Amugasya. She is often present in functions involving the family of Amugasya. Pic taken on 18/4/2024. The elder sister soon becomes the elder aunt. It is this “seenge munene” (elder aunt) tag that she is tied to many cultural responsibilities – back home. To her marital family she may appear as any other woman, but she is not so in the eyes of her people. Marriage does not steal her away as it would happen with other daughters of the old man. To her, as days go and the old man and woman of the estate are dependents, she becomes increasingly present.  Her brothers also need her for almost all traditional markings.

Don't be harsh, this how it all started..

-: Well for those of us who joined the group kitambo we started by tracing our roots where we came from our identity n so called relatives ie  avasaniaga vaveye ivunandi, vhu kumadzi etc
Then we had the pleasure to introduce ourselves to the 10th generation.

Then we stated our mission, vision, agenda na ndio hapo mang'ana Gi zisendi gaturira, officials were selected n asked to affirm their willingness, they did!
From here to those who joined later could pls ask for clarification of anything without bombarding the wall with feelings ‍♀ pls
It is also allowed to add more ' mature' leaders or to offer mentorship aside... Nyanzi nduguduze amang'ana yaga gosi mu llogooli Ku  Kuvhe voosi on the same page but it will take me a novel.

-: Kindly go to the blog brother. It is not fair to water down a groups effort. Kindly ask before blowing it up the wall. It really discourages the effort the likes of the Chairman and the interim crew. Remember these people are volunteering their time and to some extent resources. Let's use a kind and civil language when addressing issues here. We people (saniagas) from all walks of life. Personally if I felt the group is not addressing my agenda, I would leave without threatening to do so. We are here because we want to consolidate our efforts towards a better tomorrow. Excuse me for the rant.

-: .....and if you leave, we bring you back
