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. To her, as days go and the old man and woman of the estate are dependents, she becomes increasingly present.  Her brothers also need her for almost all traditional markings.

No to knee jerks, let us patronize programs!

-: The finals for Saniaga library term 2 debates are kesho at Vohovole primary school as from 2pm.It would be nice if those nearby attended to encourage the young ones.Those who can't can also send Mwandihi the librarian something small to help in Logistics, Asante.

-: @⁨Mwandihi⁩ that's his number please send even 200 bob to buy stuff like pens etc that they can gift participants

-: @⁨Exec Erick⁩ @⁨Douglas Beru⁩ @⁨Analo Gladys⁩  kindly support us for tomorrow's debates at Saniaga library

-: Somehow this should not reach here. Saniaga should just know what is going on and through ways as membership subscription and owning a program ensure its viability! 

We do not wanna start the funeral 500 thing. No begging at all. You will be receiving activities updates. And programs shared. Ask yourself about your input. Do you volunteer, show good will or support of any kind? If the answer is not clear, pull up your socks! 

Do not send 500/-! 

Patronise a program. 

- With Family Love.

-: Alright the librarian has asked for my support  and that of members the times I've been at the library,I see no problem if members do so.I think I took direction from him please feel free to let others excercise leadership and guidance too Saniaga is independent from you or any other member. And I say this with love Lungafa,your dictatorial tendencies tend to scatter your peers instead of uniting them.Learn too,we all are.

-: Sometimes an iron fist is needed for things to move. Freedom makes people loose track at times.

-: Thanks. It was not Lulu I was addressing. It was our brothers and sisters here, inactive. Whereas Saniaga activities are not as demanding to make anyone feel gagged or the forum so outsourced for anyone to feel out of place in participating in anything here, we can over time engage than see us do little kneejerks time after time. 

- We can do better.
