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. To her marital family she may appear as any other woman, but she is not so in the eyes of her people. Marriage does not steal her away as it would happen with other daughters of the old man.

Apologies (or No Apologies)

Dr Sidika: Good evening all. Thank you for the minutes and to those who made it to the AGM. I kindly suggest that apologies column be added to the minutes and we should have also indicated in the Agenda a projects minute. So that each project is discussed and new ideas and new projects captured as well, 

2)Developed committees for the projects. I was hoping to hear about the Yoghurt project as discussed previously and I do agree that if you merge, you will develop faster. Umoja ni nguvu!!! Sidika

Lung'afa: Hello Dr. Sidika

We included a special apology by the AOB for you because the one who carried it spoke to close the meeting. 

Modern minutes however prefer not to include Apology section. It would be too much a number in our case. So many of us sent apologies. 

The Saniaga Yoghurt (milk) project could not be discussed at AGM because it would first need the committee to ensure the SACCO has satisfactorily met the requirements of operation. The Yoghurt proposal (or any other enterprising idea) shall come immediately we are in operation. 

And this being our OFFICIAL forum of communication, we shall be discussing all these together and on time so that we do not tarry. Not being at AGM does not mean what was not discussed is passed.

- With Thanks
