PIQUE-NIQUE DES ETUDIANTS DE LA RUZIZI ORGANISE PAR LAVIGERIE HOUSE

By -



Ce pique-nique s’est réalisé en date du 14 juillet 2015, une date très marquante, très importante pour nous étudiants de la Ruzizi. Nous avons été accompagnés de quelques formateurs de Lavigerie house et de quelques autres membres de cette maison de formation.

En effet, nous sommes allés à ITANDA pour nous divertir et visiter le fleuve Nil passant à ITANDA, en Ouganda. Cette visite a été importante pour nous car nous avons, non seulement découvert ITANDA et le fleuve Nil, mais aussi  eu beaucoup de temps, toute une journée de contemplation de la belle nature D'ITANDA et de son fleuve, le Nil et cette contemplation nous a procuré une très grande joie: nous nous sommes sentis renouvelés par cette contemplation; nous nous sommes rendu compte encore une fois des grandeur et beauté de Dieu à travers les grandeur et beauté de sa créature qu’est le Nil.


Ce faisant, nous ne saurons jamais regretter  le moment que nous avons passé au fleuve Nil au cours de notre pique-nique. Nous ne cessons de remercier la communauté de Lavigerie house grâce à laquelle l’accomplissement de ce pique-nique s’est avéré possible.

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...

THE ITESO PEOPLE

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 ...
