Immediately after her father was buried, a meeting was set up at *Naipanoi's home in Narok.

Besides losing her father, the sole provider in her family, Naipanoi was about to lose her innocence and childhood to cultural diehards.

That particular gathering by her relatives including her mother was one of the meetings held and eight-year-old Naipanoi, whose name has been changed for safety and protection, was the key topic.
