I may be 'wired'
differently but could be because of the implicit meaning the two words got when
I was a child striving for survival, during the years when I wandered around
the village looking for anything to
eat! If I sounded begging, I would be banned from some compounds rightly
because the people there had enough problems.
If I was taken for sharing what I (and my
siblings) were going through, we would get someone to walk along with, a person
who would always check on us or share with another person about our simplest but
greatest need, food. Sometimes sharing would bring some gifts in form of fruits.
The best sharing season was the mango season! We could be allowed to sit under
the mango tree and eat all we could. It was time to cover some past but also future
meals! You can imagine the struggle to eat as much because you were not sure
you will be allowed to sit under the same tree the next day!

Forgive my wild imagination but what if you became a 'Jjajja' of some kind? I know some of you are already special Jjajjas but you can make another one. One way to become and make another Jjajja is to sharing what we are doing together with another person or organization/group!
