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.

Three months now

HELLO Family, today 8-10-2017 marks three months of our association on
this forum. The group started on 8-7-2017.

We have been able to come together, link and share as a family, which
was and is still the primary purpose of this group. Thanks is to all
who added people, who have shown love to the group and who will keep
reliable to the family. Every one is equally valued, respected and
expected to use his/her abilities in propelling us ahead.

Moving forward, it was seen best to have the forum register as a
formal organisation that would officially champion the interests of
the group, which was registered as Saniaga CBO. Members committed
themselves to registration. And only nineteen have registered, this
day as we mark three months.

Much as we call for everyone's participation, we insist on commitment.
Suggestively, we are going to brainstorm on how to engage the
committed members in moving Saniaga ahead even as we wait for more to
register. (a separate WhatsApp Group (and text messaging) that shall
strictly channel Saniaga Processes). It is in this manner that we
shall not have a month more stagnant. This primary forum will remain
the brooder place, adding members, brainstorming, associating and all
that we are requested to participate in.

Now you are updated as we continue to celebrate our Heritage.

May you have an Isaji (Isagi) day, won't you?
