Hello Family. Allow me to come to you with another Suggestion...as surely this group is meant to provide Forum to. And to add to the many others that have been accepted here and continue to strengthen our identity.
A one that we may want to say a word about. Or actively be part.
😎😎😁😁.
There is going to be a Youths meeting at Wangulu Library this coming Sunday evening. It is a sports meeting.
There is a request to brand the local football team Saniaga FC among other Agendas of the day, a suggestion brought forward by part of the sports lads.
On asking, the team has had no proper and official representation. It has always been an effort of local youths who leave immediately greener pastures are sported.
The Branding is aimed at attracting patronising and instilling a sense of identity/responsibility among our energetic boys. It also aims to attract unrelenting support from patrons and well wishers unlike secular names that sometimes the sports men have to grapple with looking for support. For instance, the upcoming Vihiga County League Tournaments has found the boys unprepared and unsure of registering to going through all the matches for sometimes it needs facilitation.
As an integral community organisation, Saniaga CBO will, if the name (SANIAGA FC) is wholly accepted, recruit the team as part of its Community Programs. And it will engage the Sports Men within and without even in its other activities of community development that will not only promote talent exploration but also responsible youthhood. It will also strive to alongside mentor girls and young women for a sister team in ensuring maximum community involvement.
Why interest in Branding a team and developing one? We know in our CBO/SACCO growth we are going to participate in many activities that would need active advertisement and involvement. Sports is one of the leading advertisement avenues. And largely a community entry avenue for Positive Change programs.
Any Foreseen Challenges? Yes, what would Masero and Kevembe identified sports men think with a Saniaga label? It is our role to communicate that Branding is integral and honest, non discriminatory and accommodative. That there are many other avenues of branding if organisations of such names come up which Saniaga CBO shall be partner to in their programs. And so far so good, Saniaga Brand is being accepted as a responsible community change name.
A scale up thought would be in establishing young mentorship football teams around S-CBO libraries and areas of reach to nurture young ones to grow into talented SANIAGA FC club. Which, in gradual growth shall triumph County League, Division League and play in National League to beyond. It may lead to a need in modern football field structuring in the area among other hopeful things if the idea is well received.
What are your thoughts? They will surely inform the meeting and empower the sports people (some are here, listening).
- With Thanks
