UN NOME NUOVO

Per la seconda volta, nella mia breve carriera di madrina africana, sono stata scelta per assolvere a questo delicato compito. Stavolta non si è trattato di un adorabile bimbetto di pochi mesi ( http://danielabubaque.altervista.org/lettm03.php ) ma di una giovane ragazza bijagò, that after five years of preparation for baptism this year has finally been able to receive the sacrament sighed.

The friendship which binds me to Sui, better known as kuke is strong ... and is well worth yet another canoe trip!

then start Bubaque time to fulfill my obligations as a sponsor and accompany kuke this important step.

important to her, who deliberately chose this path, but also important for me, as they are called to be godmother to her an example, a model, a reference point ... anything but easy!
moved, as I witnessed the ritual of the name used to our Italian christenings, where children are baptized within the year and where are the parents to choose the name of children, the "name change" I took it a little 'off guard.

Since many guineensi have a traditional name, at the time of baptism they are asked to add a Christian.
kuke but expressed no preference and has asked me to "rename it"! Oh God, what awful responsibility!

I was thinking that night: it is not easy to choose the name of a person, a name that will bring you back to life.

choose the name and add a piece to the identity of a person, make a brand that will always, play an important role in his life ... well, a big thing!

I've thought and thought, and I ended FRANCISCO , in homage to the saint of Assisi.

The choice of this name kuke wants to be a wish to grow in simplicity and humility, two virtues that St. Francis certainly not lacking.

Congratulations, Frances Sui, pa bo, kaminhu IABR !
