A song of T-shirts.

Saniaga Mweremi S.H.G  Matunda. The group has been, as commented about it before, in existence for over 25 years. Happy are the members with the good guidance from Ambenge, the chairperson. Today they carried the saniaga identity higher by adorning themselves with T-shirts in a song. Thanks to @254788348833 for working on their production. Where they required improvements it was recorded and would be done so. And the message passed to them was of our nearing AGM on Dec 30th where we would put our minds together to see what engagements shall positively keep all saniagas connected. They are one of the well organised saniaga groups together with Saniaga Women at Kivagala and Saniaga Group in Nandi -Denja. There are more saniaga associations not yet reached and we hope that we may all team together for the greater potential goal in our hands.
