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. If maternal family decides to, the boy will have a hard time reconnecting with father people - a dent on his masculinity. There were two children who got burnt to death in a house in Nairobi.

Our first library volunteers and a desktop

Yesterday we managed to get the desk ready for a serious library. The two strong chaps in the picture are our library attendants. In the near future we expect to have more computers for students. In the mean time we keep calling for books. Books. Boooks. Boooooooks.

Pat Ngoda: 👌👌👍👍. Are the  attends doing it pro bono ama?!

Lung'afa: Sure. That is how USA grew, they say. There was a plea to volunteer work. Maybe we adopted?

Pat Ngoda: Woiyeee, so touched by their selflessness

Lung'afa: The idea is they work half day. One comes from 8-1pm. The other from 1-5pm. So that they can do what they need to at home. They come from Wangulu, no time wasted in moving to or from. 


Pat Ngoda: When we "arrive" we need to make up to them somehow

Lung'afa: Maybe the greater make up is to adopt what they do? In whatever acts? 
- They good, at least.
