Jirani from KWEChE by Rapasa Nyatrapasa Otieno

As long as human beings have existed we have been able to adapt to many changes in the environment. How does change affect the qualities, practices or routines that reflect lineages? Do you lose your brotherhood or sisterhood? Customs certainly are different between communities. Issues can be approached differently. In this piece Rapasa is looking at neighbourly life. How a fault in old plumbing systems can lead to a chain of miscommunication between different institutions. Not all events should be seen or treated negatively some are steps to invent ways of living a better calm life. Let’s celebrate living in harmony!

Pod walaore nyaminwa,

I took my phone,

My brother good morning,
Everything is not very good here,
Can you make time, come we talk over a cup of coffee,
Because I receive this letter is not very interesting,

Engis okonya..

Danse….Danse….

Danse….Danse….

Thu Tinda!!!
