Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")

By -
Logic Mathematics Intelligence deals with logic, abstractions, reasoning, numbers and critical thinking according to Howard Gardner. It is the capacity to reason, calculate, recognize patterns and handle logical thinking. Lavigerie House has got members with different capacities in doing things. Our life in the community portrays who we are and how we relate with one another by communicating in an understandable language. Normally, we are asked to be precise in our speech as a form of clarity for easy understanding and apprehension. This helps us in formative encounters, spiritual directions, and as well passing information to individuals or to the community.

It is a nice experience to stay in Lavigerie House; here we have got different levels of Logical-mathematical intelligence. Things are done in an organized way in different aspects of formation. Our apostolate is organized in such way that each student can get different experiences before he finishes his third year. We normally work in pairs which is an expression of mathematics. 

Academic life is one of the four pillars of formation of Missionaries of Africa in Lavigerie House. In our formation house, we perform a variety of activities that involve counting and basic sequencing of tasks, for example; putting things in order.

In addition, we are able to perform various patterns of thinking used in our daily lives, such as making lists, creating schedules, setting priorities, and planning something for the future. Most of us have personal timetables for our own different programs. All these are highly developed by philosophical courses like critical thinking we attain from the consortium. Each individual has got a certain responsibility to perform as community service. For example, assistance bursars, sacristans, gardeners, librarians and others are developing this intelligence from the work they do.

Finally, we are able to engage in different abstract issues from the knowledge we get from the logic course, which help us to make our premises well organized before they are communicated. Recently some students are taking the course of conflict transformation which helps them to be able to engage in abstract thinking based on conceptual information. Really we enjoy thinking and abstraction of ideas. This shows that we are naturally mathematician in whatever we do.

It was an honour to the Tanzanians having the privilege to present and share more concerning one of the cultures in the motherland, Tanzania in the cultural evening. Happiness and joy was vivid on every members’ face in the community, some hours before the event commenced. We all enjoyed listening to our two brothers, Evodius Lihiru and Aloyce Libongi , who shared about the Pogoro Culture. Historical background and culture teachings about Pogoro People were well narrated and I can bear witness, it was fabulous . Here is a short history about the Tanzania, the country and the Pogoro culture. Tanzania is a rich country which has many natural resources like Gold, Tanzanite, Diamond, Iron Ore, and other minerals. It has also got tourist attractions such as the Norongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti and Mikumi National Park, as well as Zanzibar Island. The natural resources enable the country to earn a lot of money to run the government programs. Tanza...

Iteso is the name of the people speaking Ateso language. The man originating from the Teso land is known as ‘Etesot’ and a woman on the other hand she is known as ‘Atesot’. Background They are believed to have come from Alexandra in Egypt. They are the descendants of the Biblical Joseph, a Hebrew, who is said to have married a black Egyptian woman. She gave birth to Ateker speaking people who include: Jie, Turkana, Maasai, Karimojong and Iteso. When the Israelites left for the promised land, the black Egyptian woman left with her children towards South West where they claim to have had their promised land as promised by Abraham to Jacob his grandson; the land surrounded by the rivers. When this group reached Ethiopian highlands, they claimed it and looked at the South West, where they saw their promised land and they said ‘Ite so’ meaning, ‘we have seen’ which gave rise to the name ‘Iteso’. Areas Occupied Basing on the 1980 statistics, the tribe is the second largest i...

Brother Tobie Kizza

Evaristo, Collins and Yago at Tobie Kizza burial's site (Ibanda Parish)                              As a saying goes that ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ, it indeed spoke to me. It was after I had taken a step to read about Bro. Tobie Kizza, who also happened to be the first Muganda brother of the society of the Missionaries of Africa not only that but also the Patron of Tobie Kizza Team here in our community Lavigerie. Being born from the pagan background in 1872 in Burigi, this did not hinder him from achieving and discerning his call to discipleship. The man, who ate, worked, loved and lived with the famous martyrs (our fathers in faith) in the year 1886. Inspired by their lives, and their willingness to die for Christ, this gave Tobie more zeal and increased his commitment to Christ (rooted in Christ, we venture with hope). Despite the hard ships under the rule of the king, Tobie did...

The Karimojong, their Beliefs and The Supreme (Spirits and God)

By -
Introduction I will base the discussion of this essay on some of the basic aspects or features pertaining to the Karimojong tribal life, in relation to the supreme reality from which their life flows. The Karimojong are the Central Plains Nilotes who currently live in the North-eastern part of Uganda. Karamoja consists of different groups of people, which in this case I refer to as larger clans. From the northern part, are the Dodoth, Jie, Teuso (Iik), and the Labwor; in the central are the Matheniko in the same district with the Tepes who originally belong to Kalenjin group of people.  Within the same vicinity of the central are the Bokora , and Nyakwai (originally of Luo origin). In the south are the Pian (which includes Chekwii of Namalu), and the Pokot at the extreme boarder to Kenya. Nature has blessed Ngikarimojong with a semi-arid climate; it is therefore for this reason that the Karimojong do not practice agriculture in a large footing like the rest of the ...
