The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent. The genealogies were mentioned in reverence, lengthy ones applauded. And courtesy of Enos Oyaya’s book, “Kamnara my people”, anyone who would need help had the documentation. Oyaya had launched the Kamnara book on 30th December 2022 at his home in Kamnara Mwalo, an event that gathered Vakamnara from far and wide. “What can we do that the generations to come will benefit from?” This was the clarion Mr. Kwaka Joseph called on all to fashion their minds to. And issues were raised in the fields of Education, health, agriculture, enterprise, politics and more that the swift dholuo would...

When sourcing for S-CBO, let it remain so!

Lung'afa: ⁨Dr Sidika⁩ , you got the books for the Library. But you took them to the school. It may have been a good gesture but you cannot followup. Were they at the library you would have hands on. This is because the school is a separate institution. And in future if anything is accessed by the name of S-CBO let it come to S-CBO! 

Have a working day, won't you?

Baba Ndanyi: Hey, what was the reason for taking the books to the school, was it a donation to the school or the S-CBO library?

Dr Sidika: @⁨Lung'afa⁩ I bought new books for the school. The book donations when received will go to the S-CBO Library. Sidika

Dr Sidika: Please don't be quick to comment on books issue. I clarify again. I bought and paid for the books from Jomo Kenyatta foundation and Kenya Literature Bureau. Their donations are yet to be given. The donations will go to the CBO Library. We should now be thinking of a pay bill number for the donations to the S-CBO library directly and open an account for the library project. Sidika

Lung'afa: The school needed the books more than the library? 

It is like underfeeding your child with excuse that you feeding a friend's child. 

I do not even know the number that went to the school. Cause the government has a book a child policy. And a community library can help more learners and other resource looking people.

As for the CBO, again, if there be any deal, let it be  a CBO deal. Cause more often conflicts of interest do arise.

Erick Author: 🤔🤔 I'm getting... There's a school then there's The library. When I bring over my books I'll personally put them onto the shelves of THE library to avoid confusion.

Dr Sidika: @⁨Lung'afa⁩ kindly find out if the school has the books and if they do, then we shall revert them to the cbo. I don't think I want to mix Std one to three pupils with the community shopping centre library. I kindly request support for the renovations of the old church for surrounding schools library. Sidika

Musimbi Wangulu: The books have not been stamped, we (Wangulu primary) personally​ requested Dr.Sidika for resources to the school. Infact this library is our brainchild through Dr.'s faith in the future of the community. This community is going to get more n more resources. Remain focused. Some of the early graders might not have an opportunity to come to the library oftenly. Let's end this tassle

Lung'afa: If this forum ever inspires people to do great works, start by supporting initiatives therein. 

It would be improper to want a personal ideal to get streamlined as you work on your wants. 

In short, support S-CBO good people!

Evans mwifa saniaga: Elaborate?

Lung'afa: It is in the details.

Baba Ndanyi: I think the best way forward is to make the S - CBO library the main center and if we have excess supplies like books we can donate to the surrounding schools, let's channel our energies and efforts to the library, let's empower the centre fully.

Lung'afa: Thanks Papa.

Nyongesa: What kind of books are urgently needed? That way it's easy for one to bring their contribution. I have quite a number of set books my gals used in highschool.

Jane Bwonya: Set books are appropriate for the library. The youth can read them to improve their reading, comprehension, vocabulary and also equip them with analytical skills.
