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).

The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent.

A venue for a Library at Chamakanga

Today. Mzee Henry Bulungu, Edward Mbelesia and Lung'afa met at Chamakanga to discuss a potential Saniaga Library venue.

We therefore talked large on the need to base a resource centre come library in the hands of Saniaga. For patronising, ownership and sustainability. 

After the talk, we identified two places - near Chief's office and up at PAG -Chamakanga. The picture above is of the building up. Which the centre door is the one that was dedicated to be of S-CBO Library.

 A Saniaga place.... 

We shall therefore be coming to you for the simple support of stabilising it just as we did for Wangulu one. And as we shall be doing to the libraries upcoming at Gisambai and Gamalenga. We got to accomplish those this year and scale up in the next.

 - With Thanks
