This week we have been a little bit disconnected with the migration of our server. So I will tell you about the activities we have started on Monday: planting trees, mostly Moringa Oleifera, with its wonderful nutrient properties. So far we have planted 200, each one with its own enclosure.
We have already ordered 1.000 more, and they will be planted mid March, the day we inaugurate the two buildings (Kengele and Mutsora Primary Schools). This was all possible thanks to Lisa who has kindly donated the money on behalf of her dearest friend Lisa as well. From all the children in Mutsora, asante sana! It is time for me to say goodbye to all the readers in WildlifeDirect. There are no words to express how grateful I am for all your support during this time. Hope to see you in the blogs!

Virginia, of course the children are most welcome! And as I said, I know Lisa would love this. So thank you for making it possible. Let’s please stay in touch. I will miss you here at Wildlife Direct, but I wish you all the best of luck with your new project. I would love to hear about it and the work you will be doing. Send me an email when you get up and running and tell me all about it. Lisa

Lisa, what a perfect way to remember your friend. From what you’ve told me about her, she will love this! s.
Lisa, California on February 29th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
: ) Yes, she would! Thanks Sheryl. Lisa

Thanks guys, for all your kind words. My dear friend Lisa, died of breast cancer, actually on the same day, in the same early morning hours that little Vumilia lost his life. That was a very difficult day. Lisa was a young mother of a 10 year old daughter. She was an amazing person. Full of love and life. She loved children and I wanted to honor her in a special way. She loved gardening too, so I think she would be happy that 1,000 trees are being planted in her honor, for the children at the primary schools at Mutsora. I very happy about this. : ) Lisa

That’s a beautiful thing to do. It reminds me of the charity my mother runs that was in a way inspired through the death of a young student who was staying with her and was killed in a bicyle accident. Her parents new how much she loved working with my mother and during her funeral, her folks asked people not to buy flowers but instead to donate the same amount for various projects in western Kenya that focus on orphans and old people. That was ten years ago and the work that has been done since then is amazing…
