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.

What remains for 2019?

-: Good morning Lungafa!
Please share calendar of activities for remainder of year

-: Good Morning Analo, 

Friday, 26/7/19 is when we are hosting debates finals. Till Next year when we look forward to widening our scope. Another Library must have come up by then, in Saniaga faith. 😊. 

August 2019 - December as a CBO we shall deeply be engaged in collecting oral genealogy data. We expect to work with Saniaga Groups in their locations to realize this. A concept note/proposal is underway and once ready all of us shall look at it and react accordingly. 

Our Pawpaw/tree nursery project is still on with now an added thought of involving Saniaga Groups with Cassava farming. S-CBO is in talks with Self-Help Africa to find out if we can benefit from their seeds/extension services. And for the opportunities either in application or direct linking that Saniaga can benefit from. 

The continuing SANIAGA SACCO registration and share building is our power for the near future undertakings. That whoever is not yet subscribed should do so and have us walk together in this. Equally serious mobilization should be underway. 

There is where we are now. 

All of them need support/active participation. 

- Let us talk.

-: Thank you sir
