How will we attend to ceremonies!be humane!ceremonies shall start on 19th both rituals and weddings.remember initiates are all ovèr from western and Riftvalley.In mt.Elgon we are witnessing high levels of student absenteeism.weddings were corona suspended till 19-29th for schooling resons.We are on collission courses!hope you take this ositively
Lets be positive to communities and nature you will gear towards punishing teachers forno good and apparent reasons.cbc could judt kick off now.Some of us have heaped/accumulated weddings to perform.Teachers are lead stakeholdrs on religious issues whoever postponed cbc was ill advised,at the moment there is no KNUT to advocate the truth,we depend onthe wall to say the truth.Teacher burnout-the worst.
I suggest it to be done at the beginning of 2021
This will not be that possible for teachers to attend,.Many activities are scheduled towards this festive season.
Wish something to be done on dates, a number of teachers will be travelling to meet there relatives.
Not possible during covid period
