I stand to be counted on the side of Washiku that contributions are normally done when a colleague has an event i.e happy/sad.
Its not because the family is not able but rather a sign of solidarity and also as Mawinder puts it "a tradition"
Am sure even the company where the Watchies work there could be a list going round for the same.
For me, my only concern is quoting the amount.But then again I have no clue how their welfare works.
Unfortunately the same "siasa" going on here in Wazua is what I see in work places.When the big shot has an issue watu wanasema yeye ako na pesa so wanachanga ya nini.When a juniour has an issue they are all over with the list for contributions and wanting the boss to changa more than the rest.
Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.
