Raksasuwita Gathering Dec 2009

tigadara

Raksasuwita is the family name I got from the grand-grand parents of my mother side. Well, to make it simple just say that Raksasuwita is my mom's Grand Father from her mother side. Still confuse? If you feel it so then you'd better draw a family tree then you will get it clearly.

The Raksasuwita is divided into 3 (Three) big family groups, such as Bandung, Jakarta (which I’m included), and Bogor. The division itself depends on my grand mother sisters. I can be stated as a Jakarta family because my grand mother and her children spent most of our life time in Jakarta. The Bandung Family is the generation from my grand mother older sister who spend most of their life time in Bandung, and the last but not least is the Bogor Family which come from my grand mother’s younger sister who spend most of their life time in Bogor.

The Raksasuwita always held big family reunion (called Paguyuban -red) every 6 (six) months. We usually rent a hall because of the big amount of our family member. The purpose of this Paguyuban is to maintain the relationships among Raksasuwita family from the ancestor to the very young generation.

The last Paguyuban was held on December 05th, 2009 in Bandung. The tradition of this occasion is every meeting will be prepared by different commission. The last Paguyuban was prepared by Bandung Family. The committees itself come from my generation since my generation is the most productive ages for these years.

We’re not only met and greet and have great food to eat, but we also held a bazaar of our own. Even other people who are not from The Raksasuwita Family can rent a stall to join the bazaar. We also have door prizes to make the Paguyuban more exciting! It’s so amazing and fun! I can’t wait for the next Paguyuban!
