Today is the eve of Garifuna Settlement Day and I travelled down to Dangriga for the offical opening of the Gulisi Garifuna Musuem.
The musuem is named Gulisi after the daughter of Garifuna Chief Chatoyer and one of the first Garifuna women to settle in Belize . She arrived 202 years ago and she passed on her story to her granddaughter who in turn passed it on to her granddaughter.
From start to finish the opening was spectacular but the highlight for me was the entertainment provided by the Garifuna All Star Band

It’s really interesting I was thinking about mum and dad this morning and mum’s and obviusly all my aunties efforts to promote women’s issues and dad too as a role model as i have never seen him raise a hand to mum. The interesting thing is that I wasn’t just thinking about it I was trying to think up policies that I would enforce if I was in the Kenyan government based around gender issues. Family/friends I think I’m finally maturing! Anyway, I liked what the guy was saying about eduacating young boys/men the evils of hitting women and violence in general, the shedding away of the the machismo premise that you got hit to be man. On a brighter note, Hail Mr W Kihoro thanks to him I am no longer a flat broke student but merely poor one he sent me cash yesterday (but that is neither here nor there). Never mind me it’s early in the morning here and I felt like blabering.
