“Today I’m a very proud father after visiting my adopted son Satrin Osinya together with his other initiates at the PCEA church evergreen where they’re healing after being Circumcised a couple of days ago.
They’re now being transformed into young adults through our rite of passage from childhood into adulthood.
We also interacted and celebrated with other father figures, uncles, and male guardians who had also come to visit their sons.”
Sonko adopted Satrin and his brother Gift, he recently concluded form four.
“My family adopted Satrin Osinya when he was one and a half years old after his mum was shot dead by terrorists at Joyland church in Likoni.
Him and his brother Gift Osinya have been part of our family since then. Welcome to manhood son and always remember that as a family we love you so so much.”
