At last I can say that, during the last few weeks, I have held several meetings with FSF in which we have been discussing their next steps. I think this meetings have been very successful, and he have discussed several options and projects for the following quarter. I can’t wait to start developing them!
One of the initiatives they had already was getting the property of the kayas (sanctuaries in the forest), a keystone from which to keep on fighting. For that, they need to get them registered in the Kenyan museums as national heritage, and then ask for their protection. They are planning a trip of the wazee (the old people of the village, and the ones they still use this sacred sites) to the district forestry office, to ask for protection for these areas.
On the agenda, we can also find computer and accounting lessons (for FSF and community members), an Earth Club for the kids of Shimoni, the construction of an information banda, more outreach and awareness-raising, among others. I will keep you updated!
