World Environment Day – Kenya

World Environment Day KenyaJacob D.  has been working a great deal around Voi and surrounding areas from May to July.

There was the World Environment Day celebrated at Moi Stadium and at Mwangea Primary School, with film shows and town cleanups, tree planting, and a good community turnout.  He has also worked showing films in all the schools and communities in conjunction with the Voi Youth Forum and with Ingrid Marie Relling, a Norwegian teacher at Voi Primary School.

The Voi Youth Forum and Ms. Relling are working to help schools to form Environment Clubs to raise interest and concern amongst the students. It is such a good idea and Amara Conservation is happy to assist in any way we can.

Our first field projector seems to have reached the end of it’s very useful and long life (10 years is pretty amazing given what it has gone through), and a new one is on it’s way.
