It is time to plant more trees. To replace those that dried because of drought. It is important, therefore, to make sure that seedlings will be ready to be moved from the nursery and planted in the field. Seedlings first need to be prepared for the harsher conditions of the field. If seedlings have been properly looked after in a nursery, they may have received more water and shade than they will have once they have been planted. Gradually reduce the watering and expose the seedlings to full sunlight during this month. Good seedlings for planting out have the following characteristics:
· The shoot should be twice the length of the roots or the pot. · The stem should be strong and woody. · The seedlings should have many thin roots in addition to the main roots. · Many seedlings will achieve these characteristics two months after germinating. Transplanting When transplanting, make sure you do the following: Transport the seedlings in an upright position Mark out a circle with a diameter of 30cm in the field Remove the topsoil and place in a pile Remove the next soil layer to a depth of 30cm and place in a separate pile Put in a 5cm layer of grass (dry grass in rainy season, fresh grass in dry It’s Planting Season – Time to Plant Many More Trees! season), (called mulching). Some groups add manure as well. Remove the seedling from the polythene bag. Do not break the earth-balls around the roots. Place the seedling in the hole Replace the topsoil first, then the second soil layer. Some groups do not fill the hole completely, but leave a gap of a few cm. This helps the rainwater enter the hole and infiltrate the soil. Any remaining soil can be placed in a mound on the downhill side of the seedling. This will help trap any rainwater and divert it into the hole. Water the seedling. Also remember that to give your seedling the best chance of survival you should plant the 3m - 4m apart. If you plant them closer together then the seedlings will not get all the water, light and soil nutrients they need because there is much competition. They will become weak and may die, so follow the best practice of a spacing of 3m – 4m. ENGLISH VERSION 3 Hand washing with soap is among the most effective and inexpensive ways to prevent diarrheal diseases and pneumonia, which together are responsible for the majority of child deaths.
Hands often act as vectors that carry disease-causing pathogens from person to person, either through direct contact or indirectly via surfaces. Humans can spread bacteria by touching other people’s hand, hair, nose, and face. Hands that have been in contact with human or animal feces, bodily fluids like nasal excretions, and contaminated foods or water can transport bacteria, viruses and parasites to unwitting hosts. Hand washing with soap works by interrupting the transmission of disease. Washing hands with water alone is significantly less effective than washing hands with soap in terms of removing germs. Effective hand-washing with soap takes 8 - 15 seconds, followed by thorough rinsing with running water. Critical times in hand washing with soap Here are some critical times to clean your hands: 1. Before and after meals and snacks 2. Before caring for young children 3. After touching a public surface. 4. Before and after preparing food, especially raw meat, poultry, or seafood 5. After using the restroom 6. When hands are dirty 7. After touching animals 8. When you or someone around you is ill Awareness of hand washing with soap Hand washing is likely to be especially important where people congregate (schools, offices), where ill or vulnerable people are concentrated (hospitals, nursing homes), where food is prepared and shared and in homes, especially where there are Hygiene & Sanitation: Hand washing. young children and vulnerable adults. A simple facility for washing hands after visiting toilet
The simplest facility is just to have a small jerry can filled with water placed outside latrines. Soap should also be provided. However, this method is not ideal as people have to touch the jerry can before and after washing their hands which can still spread germs. An alternative hand-washing facility can be made like this: 1. Make a simple wooden frame with a nail in the middle for a peg. 2. Make a soak pit for the waste water by digging a hole around the frame and filling it with stones. This will let the waste water drain away into the soil. 3. Get one big open container (a barrel or cut-open jerry-can) and fill it with water. 4. Find a smaller open container, like a cut-open water bottle. 5. Make a small hole in the bottom of this container and fix a handle to it. 6. Dip the small container into the larger one to fill it with water. 7. Hand the small container on the peg so that the water starts to drip through the hole like a tap. 8. Wash your hands with soap. The advantage of this system is that you only touch the small container once to fill it with water. After washing your hands ENGLISH VERSION 4 Wiyumiririe TSE was established in December 2007. Currently, there are 55 Small Groups registered in our Cluster. We have ten trainers and four (4) quantifiers. The work of trainers is to help the TSE leader, Jinaris Gachoya, and his two partners, Mary Mwariri and Susan Wamuya, in training Small Groups in our Clusters. The core training topics include C o n s e r v a t i o n f a rm i n g , n u r s e r y managemen t , small G roup s be s t practices, health issues and other important trainings. We have 4 quantifiers who are in charge of taking baseline quantification. So far, our quantifiers have baselined 45 Small Groups. We are expecting our cluster to be audited for 12 Months
goals soon. After this audit, which we are confident to pass, our quantifiers will start counting trees paving way for payments which we are eagerly waiting. We are encouraging our Small Groups to take advantage of this rainy season to plant many more trees, but with the best practice spacing of 3 – 4m, so that Wiyumiririe Cluster of Wiyumiririe TSE. our trees may grow strong and healthy and be able to sequester lots of carbon that we will later sell through CAAC in international carbon markets. Last season, we had a crop failure due to failed rains. However, a few farmers who practiced conservation farming got some yields despite harsh climatic conditions. Mr. David Theuri, a member of Miatu-ini Small Group got 1 bag of maize from his plot of slightly above an eighth acre. This taught us the importance of practicing kilimo hai. Mr. Mwangi says, “I wish I had planted in a larger area. This season I am going to plant in 2 acres.” Mr. Benjamin Maina, a member of Mutamaiyo Small Group, also practiced conservation farming. He got better yields as compared to other areas where he had practiced traditional framing. Mr. Maina also practices vertical farming – where he uses sacks filled with soil and manure and grows vegetables. We meet every second of the month. We meet at Catholic Church compound in Wiyumiririe market center. ENGLISH VERSION 5 Look every where. I mean everywhere. I am all there. From the humblest of shelters to magnificent of buildings.

Rotational leadership is where each group member takes it in turn to lead and co-lead the group meeting. There is no one single leader. There is a new leader and co-leader for each weekly meeting. The responsibility is equally shared amongst all group members. Why rotational leadership? Each person has different ways of leading, and each person has different gifts. Rotating the leadership means group members can all learn from each other about leadership. If everyone is supportive and encouraging, even shy group members will have the chance to grow in confidence and leadership abilities. We are able to learn something from everyone. Rotating leadership also reduces the stress of one person being responsible all the time. Because the responsibility is equally shared, no one person should be overly burdened or tired by the job. Rotating the leadership means there will be fewer problems if one person likes to dominate the conversations and be in charge all the time. Each person will have his / her own chance to lead the meeting. What you should do when
practicing rotational leadership? - Begin rotating leadership as soon as possible. - At the end of each meeting decide who will be a leader and co-leader next time. - Everyone should get a chance to lead and colead. - If a group member does not want to lead, or is shy, the group can let him or her watch others lead first. Then they can co-lead before leading next time. - Pass any teaching materials on to the next leader. - Remember to wait for people to speak after asking a question. What makes a good servant leader? The leader should be humble, patient, accepting and honest. The leader should show the same acceptance and respect for every group member, regardless of what they do outside the group. The leader should speak very little. He or she should encourage all members to share ideas and have the chance to speak. Leaders should make sure they properly listen to the group members. Encourage people when they have made a contribution. Don’t pretend you know all the answers! Even if you do know the answer, it is better to let the group discuss the question themselves. If someone asks a question, offer it to the rest of the group to discuss. Try to recognize the gifts that each person has, and to encourage them in the things they do well. Accept people and statements without criticism or judgment. Acknowledge and demonstrate respect for the person with whom you may not agree. Don’t debate! Acknowledge even the most unusual statement with: “That’s an interesting view. Does anyone else have any thoughts on that?” Throw it back to the group so others may contribute. Remember to share your own stories, strength and weaknesses with the group. An honest leader makes others feel comfortable to share themselves.
