Majani Saniaga: This so close to my school Busali union secondary

Lung'afa: Alumnus. What happened? Busali and Kigama are mentioned in reverence by the early 80's schoolers. Then they  lagged behind...

Jane Bwonya: Thanks a lot Lung'afa for your mobilization work that yields instant results. Keep it up. Nyasaye akugasize.

Lung'afa: It is vasaniaga vene that are easy to talk to and brainstorm with. 

At start of this group we may have thought we are dispersed and  dislinked. Awa, we strike the blood matchstick and lol, arms are opened. 

😊😊

Evans Idah: Neglected...school.Kigama is coming up

Majani Saniaga: are you serious

Evans Idah: Nothing seems to come from busali lately!

Lung'afa: Busali is down down down. Looks like a start up community school than a legendary one.

Evans Idah: Professional from busali,busweta,chamakanga and mululu aint giving back to the community. The area is domiciled by leading professors

Lung'afa: Very right Idiah. 

- Being close to the lake does not mean water security. 😎😎

Evans Idah: Chukumazi kegona vuruhu🤣

Baba Ndanyi: Someone talked about professionals giving back to the community, that is what we are going to be doing from now on, let it be our theme on matters libraries, we are going to identify suitable sites where we can locate a resource center, we can locate 20 centres for a start then spread the word especially to those in the diaspora, but let's all participate

Lung'afa: Yes. Yes. With a Library at Chamakanga we can have a foot to schools as Busali. At a start before we have a base for more members around. 


Libraries is a catch. To many other opportunities and service to people. 

We support this at Saniaga Speed.
