TIST Values: A new best practice.
Majority of TIST Small Groups are knowledgeable of TIST values. A new best practice that will resonate well with all TIST participants was developed during a recent TSE seminar held at Gitoro Conference Center, Meru. The participants, led by Ben Henneke and Vannesa Henneke deliberated in length on this new best practice.
More often, companies and organizations develop their own mission and vision statements. The purpose of doing this is to communicate to their clients what they do, intend to achieve and their values. This, in most cases is meant to give them a competitive edge against their competitors. TIST program has it’s own values that are unique from other organizations and or companies. These values are based on the integrity and effort of individual members within the entire TIST system, i.e. who we are, how we do things, things that we do and the expected results we ultimately get.
Who We Are.
1) We are honest.
2) We are accurate.
3) We are transparent
4) We are servants to each other.
5) We are mutually accountable to each other
How We Do Things that other people can see
1) We are volunteers.
2) We do the work ourselves in small groups
3) We develop and use best practices
4) We use our head and hands.
.
What do we do
1) We plant variety of trees for long –term.
2) We find ways to improve our health.
3) We practice Conservation Farming.
4) We do other projects and businesses
(sustainable agriculture, nurseries, citrus
growing, dairy goats and farming, chickens,
bee keeping, fish ponds and fish keeping,
silkworm farming etc)
5) We sell carbon credits.
What we create.
This is different from what we do. When we have
these values and as we live and do business that
way on those projects, we create something that
was not there before. These include;
1) We create Team Work—by doing things this way, we end up working like a team.
2) We c r e a t e C a p a c i t y — w e c r e a t e organization, strength, and a system that is strong.
3) We create Enjoyment—we see results, we accomplish big things that we enjoy
4) We create Big Results—Big results in planting trees. Big results in Conservation farming and from other projects and business that we do.
5) We create Low Budget/ cost, yet we achieve big results.

In our previous month edition, we highlighted what TIST had achieved. Today, the registered groups have increased by 133. We now have 3,457 Small Groups as compared to 3334 last month. The number of trees quantified (counted) has also increased to 3, 386341 from 3.2 m last month. The above positives changes have been witnessed in all the Field Offices as shown here in the tables below;

Achievement.
A seminar for TSE members and their partners was organized and held on 2nd - 8th December 2007 at Gitoro Conference Center in Meru. The seminar was fast paced and rigorous. The program was challenging and, along with Small Group discussion and reporting, the participants had a lot to learn. Much work was done so that TSE team members could become proficient on the Palm computers in order to perform the tasks they will need in starting TIST in new areas. The seminar centered on three objectives. First, to train the TSE participants on the core components of the TIST program as well as the basic skills in operating hand- held computer also known as Palm computer. Second, the seminar focused on identifying and developing best practices that can be used in implementation of the TSEs project activities. Third, the seminar also assessed the participants on the trained lessons and those who successfully passed were given the green light to begin implementing their respective TSE projects that will help TIST expand to new areas of Kenya and assist more farmers
There were a number of TSE teams who partially succeeded in meeting the necessary requirements and who were given more time to improve their knowledge and skills. The teams that did not meet all the strict requirements that TIST has for this new part of the program were given until the next recruitment of TSE teams in 6 months when they will be evaluated among others. To highlight some of the training sessions that the TSE participants were taught included; TIST values; Carbon credits business; Best practices – Servant leadership and rotational leadership; Species, seeds selection & and nursery management; Conservation farming and health issues.
The participants also developed and performed new TIST songs, which were very exciting. Since the foundation of TIST is Small Groups, the seminar used the Small Group discussion approach where various groups were formed, worked on certain tasks and then they reported to the entire seminar. The benefit of employing this approach is to ensure that everyone is involved and fully participates. TIST trainers and staff plus Ben and Vannesa Henneke participated in facilitation and training. The TSE team leaders and their teams that successfully met the basic requirements to begin their project activities included the following;
1. Bernard Githui - Former Naromoro Field Office quantifier.
2. Alphaxard Kimani - Narumoro Field Office quantifier.
3. Gitonga Mbui -Ntugi Field Office trainer.
4. Joshuah Irungu – TIST Administrative Director
5. Ntugi BSG – Jennifer G. Kithure
6. Lamuria BSG – Jinaris Gachoya
Bernard Githui team will be implementing it’s TSE project in Kirinyaga District, Alphaxard Kimani’s team will be in Ndaragwa and parts of Laikipia West District, Gitonga Mbui’s team will be operating in parts of Imenti North and Laikipia East District, Jennifer Kithure’s team will be Tigania and part of Imenti districts while Jinaris Gachoya Team will be implementing in Laikipia East district. Joshua Irungu, who doubles as TIST Kenya director, is focusing his TSE in Laikipia district.
TIST wishes them every success in their new venture!
TSE Participants in a group discussions work.
Mzee Nathan Kabuturu is one among hundreds TIST farmers who have practiced conservation Farming. He has put two hectares under maize cultivation using conservation also popularly known as kilimo hai. Mzee Nathan belongs to Wanja Small Group which is served by Ntugi field office. He and other six members of his group were recruited into the program by members of Umoja A Mworoga best Small group.
Majority of the members in this group have also practiced conservation farming.
Besides doing conservation farming, the group members are also active in tree planting. So far the group have planted over 2,000 trees and they plan to plant 3,000 more this rainy season.
Mzee Nathan says that he was taught conservation farming in an in-house seminar that was held at Nchoroboro last October before the onset of the rains. “ Since I hadn’t ploughed my shamba, I decided to try this method.” He adds. He says that this method is cost effective since it doesn’t require fertilizer to plant seeds. It uses ordinary animal manure or compost manure, which he puts, ‘ it is locally available.’
Mzee Nathan now encourages other farmers to try conservation farming. He is confidence of getting bigger harvests this season.
