The struggle with many a rigid Logooli cultural practices

  The Logooli community is one of the deeply cultured societies – with near everything supposed to have been done as per custom – to allow another custom to follow. One example is that for a mature man (with a child or more) to be buried, there must be a house structure at home. Another is that a boy must be circumcised and nursed in father land.

A computer for the Library

Nice discussions Family. A good way to start the day and keep together. 

Today we are receiving a desktop computer at Wangulu from @⁨Craven Isadia⁩ . The CBO has bought a printer. This means Wangulu Market will no longer seek some simple services from Mudete or Chavakali. 

The good thing is that 6 youths were trained at the library from Wangulu on Monday and they vowed to keep the fire burning. Two of them are our library volunteers as the rest handle field matters. 

And a daily newspaper will be provided at the Library courtesy of @⁨Baba Kereda⁩. 

Only a few things and we fly. And on the very tempo it would be easy to have another startup near Mungoma. 

With Thanks
