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.

We are sensitive. Just pursue what you hold dear.

-: Vuchee avaamitu nindi avambotswa. I would like to suggest the following. That we form an investment fund where every Saniaga sinks say Ksh. 100.00 per month. This fund would eventually enable us sustain the lineage of Saniaga. It would pay fees for our less fortunate, build schools and Hospitals. Imagine this is how Agakhan started.

-: Good morning all. I find this group not sensitive to anybody's post. We agree we need to teach each other the Maragoli language. At the same time be a social and investment group. Why aren't we sensitive to the social aspect and even just say a kind word "we feel sorry for your loss of a parent?" Rowley, sorry for the loss of your father and we console with you. May God almighty grant unto him Eternal Rest. Sidika

-: @Jackson Kafuna , a structure exists. I will give you a call.

@+254 72..., groups are dynamic. Just move with what you take as important.

- Everything we say is authentic save the videos and texts that are sometimes shared.

-: We did not have it at AGM. Because people who were to push it did not attend. So we shall work with what was said till the next AGM

-‬: Thank you for your comments. Who is the chairperson of this group? If we have one, could we give her/him permission to act on behalf of the group in social matters like we have now. The Chairperson can then give directions on group dynamics. Sidika

-: Dynamics are not vested. They are products of continuum interaction. Here we are, who behaves badly how? And such.
- We can't control some things.
