This morning I visited my previous primary school,
neighboring Elwak girls secondary, DC county and National government. It’s very
shameful to me, to plant thousands trees in other part of the county when back
at home the picture is grim, the several charity initiatives I helped initiate
in other parts of the country stands high, in contrast I feel frustrated for
the failure to initiate tangible programs to save and mitigate against the
vices of insecurity, gender based violence, drug and substance abuse, FGM, high
infant mortality rate, early marriage to name but a few of the social ills
bedeviling the community, yet I attributes success to trying out various ideas
without discouragement and determination to reach communities ultimate goals
out of my circle-elsewhere or (DIASPORA), am giant away and dwarf at home!
My focus theme would be betterment of the
environment for the future. In this regard therefore, environmental
conservation will take precedence over everything else, by taking bold step as
it’s our responsibility to make Mandera county a better place and evergreen hub
if measures to address the causes can reduce both problems at hands.
The project ambitious plan will be to build,
forested county, nation, free from famine and degraded environmental
conditions.
Today, initiative had just been launched, in
partnership with Mandera south sub-county
government representatives; this would also see the enthusiasm in the young
conservation club team in the school to be re-introduced and implemented
through school based agencies like young farmers association, scout and
reviving of 4K club.
The essence was to try alienating the community from
the inferior thought of inability to thrive a better environment, empower the
student and youth with the necessary skills to survive the difficulties that
have entangled them.
Despite all this challenges, we are passionately
looking for productive volunteering team who can’t get tired of the community
initiative, even though it is tough time to attend to these assignments to
unlock our mind to a new attitude and start significant change. Let us dedicate
and sacrifice our precious off time and introduce ourselves in meaningful
operation to save our environment and one day InshAllah we will enjoy every
minutes of our self-volunteering. It’s a great
volunteering activity to participate in, if only we spare 2-3 hours every
Saturday as we look forward to forging with any other interested partner.
It’s great if we could provide highly dedicated,
volunteering service to our community, help to inspire young generation and re frame a new mind and mental attitude with our goals.
It remains the biggest challenges to our environment
reduce wind effect, soil erosion that is associated with deforestation.
The initiatives will ensure it impacts positively to
the community include ensuring that knowledge to impart to families and
institutions for changes touching human lives. It’s time to leave the comfort
zone and stop residing on the desert and drought environment.
As our strategic objectives is to engage youths in
the campaign as working towards planting over 80,000 trees before June 2016.
Provide practical learning for communities on how to
create forest, initiate capacity building and inclusive home garden practice by
visiting homes to plan, plan and encourage the aspects of garden on one side
and teaching of new rights on forest on the other, with plan to double their
capacity on the garden in the house as
their homestead totally changes as beautifying building, super home with lovely
modern garden and make significant treasures at the residential facilities and
give them a family living experience.
Garden practice can give one some feeling, something
one gets used to very easily, possible
for the individual to make it really work in great way, when it comes to
choosing, it’s good to have one with the best visual experience.
Our efforts will one day bear fruits by giving hope
to our people and showing compassion to the rest of the county communities for
the suffering they underwent through ownership of proper garden, forest and
park practice program.
