The farmers said they would join hands with a committee elected last week to look into the project. The Maumba Nguluku Welfare Association chairman, Mr Frank Mutua, said they took the decision because the government had shown the willingness to address their grievances. (Jonathan Manyindo, The Nation [Kenya], 7 Apr. 2003) Titanium Mine License Eludes Canadian Firm in Kenya - The mining of the world's largest titanium fields on the east African coast of Kenya appears to have hit another snag after the country's new government announced that it is planning to conduct a public forum to discuss whether Tiomin Resources Inc., a Canadian mining firm, should be licensed to start mining the mineral in Kenya.

PO Box 716 Midway, GA USA 31320 Ministry Report: T ourist publications describe Kenya's beauty in glowing terms that the skeptic could naturally suspect. In this case, though, they tell the truth, maybe even under estimate a bit. From stars that hang like small moons, to lakes pink with flamingos; from the Obedears Mountains to the valleys where elephants, ibis, and wild antelope play, to the view from the mountains around the Rift Valley; Kenya took our breath away. Kenya is a land of contrasts, both in geography and population. Her topography includes stark desert in the north, lush farmland in the central and western regions, thick forest in the mountains. And among its people, though some have attained and are attaining wealth, most Kenyans still live in great poverty. But as our team traveled through this nation, the thing that struck us most is that Kenya is facing a crucial hour. For 34 years since her independence, God has kept Kenya politically safe from the turmoil that has swirled around her. God has blessed her with stability and with a government that has been friendly to the Church. You may have heard of some turmoil arising as scheduled elections once again draw near. Yet we were constrained by the Holy Spirit that Kenya's future does not rest in the hands of her political leaders, it rests with the Church.

Publications Africa: Forests under threat index GAMBIA A different type of forest degradation As in many other countries, Gambia's forests are facing a type of forest degradation which implies the substitution of native species by an exotic. But this is not the common situation where plantation companies substitute native forests by eucalyptus, pines or palm oil plantations. In this case, the villain is a "good" tree, brought into the country by Indian immigrants: the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica). In India, this tree has a number of positive features, among which the production of a useful natural pesticide. In Gambia, it is becoming a pest. But not because native forests are being cut to plant neem: the tree is slowly invading the forest and getting increasingly out of control. Such situation is not unique to Gambia. Many non-native trees and shrubs are becoming invasive in many of the world's forests, leading to dramatic changes in forests' floristic composition and subsequent changes in local wildlife and peoples' livelihoods. December 1998. A case of community forest management Gambia used to be covered by very dense forests. However, the country has undergone a severe deforestation and degradation process. In 1981, about 430,000 hectares were classified as forests - 45% of the total land area. Seven years later, the forest area was reduced to about 340,000 hectares.

SLRK Profiles Menu Strategy Leader Resource Kit Home People Profile The Mukogodo of Kenya Religion : Traditional Monotheism Population : A few hundred Status Location : The Mukogodo live in the Mukogodo Forest of west central Kenya. They were originally an Eastern Cushite group, predating the Nilotes and Bantu in this area. There are no remaining speakers of the original language, called Yaaku. History : The Mukogodo represent a second wave of Cushite immigration into the Rift Valley area of East Africa. The earlier Southern Cushites were the first settlers we know of following the indigenous San (Bushmen). The San were here first before the time of Christ. Then came the Southern Cushites in the first millennium AD, then Eastern Cushites, followed by the Highland Nilotes (Kalenjin Cluster), then the early Bantu. Later came intermingled waves of Plains Nilotes (Maasai-Teso-Karamojong-Turkana), later Bantu (Logoli-Kuria-Ganda, etc.) and River-Lake Nilotes (Luo and related Uganda peoples still stretching up into the Waa River marshes in Sudan). Identity : Various old Cushite groups in the Rift Valley of Kenya and Tanzania have become affiliated with various Nilotic tribes as clients, mostly as a self-defense for their own preservation under the various waves of Nilotic migration into their ancestral area.

THE BEST OF TANZANIA A Classic Tented and Deluxe Walking Safari, the Serengeti Plain, and the Island of Zanzibar September 1 - 15, 2003 ~ John Heminway, African Journeys Experience the enchantment of Africa for yourself! This magnificent safari begins as we land beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, the 19,340-foot beacon of Africa. Met by our drivers and guides, we transfer to Ndarakwai, a 10,000-acre private reserve, with spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. For the next 2 days we take walks, day and night game drives, and horseback ride (for those who wish to see wildlife from the back of a horse). Then we set out on foot with our guides for a "walk on the wild side"—through woodlands and plains seldom seen by tourists. Our Camps are set up for us each night, and our Maasai guides take us to meet some of the indigenous peoples. Then we are on to Serengeti National Park, undoubtedly the largest and best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world. In this remarkable game park, we are witness to wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle in an unspoiled wilderness landscape. We enjoy the exclusivity of our own private, luxury tented camp. THIS is the premier way to experience East Africa, made famous by Ernest Hemingway and films such as Mogambo and Hatari To end our adventure in grand style, we fly by private charter aircraft to the legendary "Spice Island" of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean, to experience glittering beaches, a colorful and exotic history, picturesque ruins, and fascinating markets.

To support this view, Elisabet Sahtouris cites developments in quantum physics. She notes that a guiding intelligence can be observed in evolution, and that even the DNA molecules themselves show extraordinary properties of intelligence. Sahtouris notes that human culture has set itself against the natural world. This, she maintains, is characteristic of young species such as our own. Mature species, however, learn to cooperate with the environment. This level of social and natural organization can be seen in the complex harmony of rain forests. This is of special concern for the human species, as we have already seen the extinction of our close human ancestors. Elizabet Sahtouris is author of A Walk Through Time: From Stardust to Us

Kenya The People Population Language English is an official language and is widely used for business and government purposes. Kiswahili (also called Swahili) is the other official language, and its use is promoted to encourage national unity. It was chosen as an official language because of its wide use within the country, and—because it shares linguistic roots with other Bantu languages spoken in Kenya—it is accessible to a major portion of the population. Most Kenyans speak the language or dialect of their ethnic group as well as Kiswahili and—except in remote areas—some English. Religion The majority of Kenyans are Christian. About 40 per cent belong to various Protestant churches, and 30 per cent are Roman Catholic. Approximately 6 per cent are Muslim. Most Muslims live along the coast and in the northeast. About 10 per cent of the people follow indigenous belief systems or non-traditional Christian beliefs. Traditional values emphasize coexistence with animals, and drought is commonly seen as a consequence of the unnecessary killing of animals. Several million hectares of land have been established as national wildlife reserves, hunting has been banned since 1977, and Kenya has been at the forefront of the fight against the illegal elephant ivory trade.

Just thought this might be for you - we are getting the next issue ready and quickly wanted to share the title and theme. Recently while sitting next to an Anasazi ruin in Boynton Caynon, Sedona Aluna Joy recounted a dream to me (see Aluna's email after this!) where she saw all the "Lightworkers" sitting atop a high butte with no way down. There were so many and the crowd was expanding and more and more were being pushed to the edge. There was no one to show them the way down nor anyone stepping forward as a leader with the courage to step off the top first. This dream resonated so much with me that I felt it must be the theme for the next issue. Maybe together we can step off in complete trust?
