Page 6 TIST Cluster Servants during a seminar held at Gitoro Conference Center, Meru last month. Inside: B eginning November last year, we began issuing vouchers to some of the TIST Clusters. In December, more than 60 Clusters got their payments. Last month, we issued more Clusters with vouchers. Some will receive their payments this month and next. We will continue paying Small Groups. We wish to remind TIST Farmers that these payments are advance payments or pre-payments. Like in tea or coffee or milk sector where farmers are given advance payments and later deducted during the final payments, these TIST trees prepayments will be deducted when the first carbon credits profits share will be made. The carbon credit sales agreement, popularly known as GhG Contract, is clear on the carbon payments. Please discuss it at your Cluster meetings. If you have questions, let your Cluster leaders or 

Cluster servants contact any member of Leadership Council for help and support. You will notice in your tree payment voucher, an information about the carbon tonnes sequestered and carbon tonnes verified. Carbon tonnes sequestered are those tonnes that have been measured after your grove has been quantified by your Cluster Servant. Verified Carbon tonnes are Kiandiu TIST Cluster members receiving their tree incentive vouchers last month. TIST: Small Group Payments are on-going. those tonnes, after quantification, they have been audited by external auditors – Verifiers. For a grove to be verified, it must pass Validation and verification rules which are set by international bodies regulating carbon markets and operations such as Verified Carbon Standards (VCS). We regret these pre-payments have took us longer time before we could fix our database and quantification errors which had caused erroneous payments in the past. If you notice any anomalies in the voucher, please inform your Cluster servant or contact Francis Kibe 0722909647 or Jane Kanja 0713436028 or any member of Leadership Council. W e are starting our second verification of “TIST Program in Kenya VCS-005.” 

It will be much larger than the first time because we are adding 14,000 new groves. At a total of 21,000 groves, it will be our largest yet. As part of the process, we are revalidating and verifying KE-VCS-005 under the 3 rd Edition of CCB as “TIST Program in Kenya CCBAnnouncing the Field Visit for a new CCB project. 005.” To receive the validation and verification, we must demonstrate that TIST is beneficial to climate, community and biodiversity. CAAC has contracted with EPIC Sustainability Services Private Limited, a CCBA certified auditor, to conduct the validation and verification. 

EPIC will be conducting its field visit February 2 to 4, 2017. ENGLISH VERSION 2 T IST has succeeded well in both human systems and Technology systems. We have earned various awards because of doing things exceptionally well for the benefit of the farmers. Some of the awards include; ü TIST Voted Best Offsetting Project, Environmental Finance – 2016 ü TIST Voted Best Offsetting Project, Environmental Finance - 2015 ü First in the World to Verified under VCS and CCBA During the Cluster Servants seminar last month, we tried new way of using technology to help enrich seminar with additional ideas from people far away across the continents. Ben Henneke , Vannesa and Charlie talked to the seminar from United States of America via video conferencing. Though it didn’t in the first instance, we got it better on second attempt. We hope to continue improving this. Soon, we hope,

TIST: Trying Latest Technology in Enhancing Communication and Interactions. A s part of the new Community Climate and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) process, we want to remind everyone that TIST, and TIST Values, do not allow sexual harassment or discrimination. Sexual harassment is any unwelcome or unwanted sexual advance, request for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature from someone in TIST that creates discomfort and/or interferes with the job. Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of a person due to race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, or sexual Sexual Harassment, Discrimination and Grievances. orientation, in any TIST activity or operation. If you feel that you have been sexually harassed of discriminated against, contact the Leadership Council and request an investigation or ask to begin the formal grievance procedure. Copies both policies are available on TIST Mobile. The grievance procedure is also available on TIST Mobile ( www.tist.org/mobile) . 

If you don’t have access to it on your phone, have the Cluster Leader or Cluster Servant pull it up for you at the next Cluster meeting. Otherwise call one of the LC members and ask them to help you start the process. will be sharing ideas and Best Practices in real time. ENGLISH VERSION 3 M any TIST Small Groups have reported that Conservation Farming best practices have helped them get better harvests, even in the very worst years when rainfall is little and unreliable. In good years, the harvest has been impressive. 

Some groups in dry areas have reported 2 to 5 times improvement in their crop yields! In Conservation Farming, you add compost manure to holes where you grow your crops and leave crop residues on the field, and do not plough, which limits erosion and the loss of soil nutrients this causes. Crop seeds therefore get many more nutrients than if they were planted using conventional farming methods. The extra nutrients help the seeds to grow into stronger plants with greater yields. The holes provide other benefits as well. The holes are very important when the rains come, because instead of washing the good soil and the seeds away, the water flows into the holes and helps the seeds grow better. The combination of the holes and the manure means that the water is held near the seeds for longer, so when the sun comes out again it does not become dry as fast. The holes protect the seeds and you can weed around the holes without hurting the plants. Remember, when you harvest your crop you should not let the animals destroy or burn the remainder from your farm. The remains of crops will rot and return many good nutrients to the soil, preparing and enriching it for the next planting season. February – March is the perfect time to begin preparing your farm for Conservation Farming. 

T IST Values requires us to be honest, accurate, transparent, mutually accountable, and servant to each other. TIST is a family. We want everyone to feel involved and participate fully. Any suggestion, idea, concern or complaint should be heard and addressed. In order to accomplish the above, Small Groups are encouraged to talk to each other, hear their members out, share ideas and Best Practices. In Cluster meetings, open discussion and participation should be encouraged. Issues that need clarity or need support or questions should be documented and passed to Group of Clusters Council (GOCC) or to the Leadership Council. Cluster Leaders and Cluster Servants should ensure such information is effectively communicated to GOCC and LC. On the other hand, GOCC and LC should communicate back to Clusters or Small Groups giving honest, accurate and transparent feedback. GOCC should communicate issues that need clarification or support to LC. 

Let’s listen to each other. Let’s be servant to each other. Let’s help each other. Lets share best practices and best ideas. To accomplish big results with low budget. TIST: Getting Your Suggestions, Ideas, Concerns, Complaints Shared and Heard. ENGLISH VERSION 4 F armers in TIST plant hundreds of species of trees, including fruit and nut trees, trees for fodder, trees that improve soil fertility, and species that can be harvested for timber. More and more farmers are choosing to plant indigenous tree species for their many benefits. What is an indigenous tree? An indigenous or native tree is one that is well adapted to an area because it has grown and reproduced naturally there over a long period of time. Not all species that are familiar to us are indigenous. Many have been introduced by people from areas far away. 

There are over 800 species of trees that are indigenous to Kenya. Why are indigenous trees important? Because indigenous trees have evolved with the local environment, animals, plants, and other organisms around them, they are well suited to the area. Often, this means that they can grow well without expensive additional inputs like pesticides or fertilizers.They often require less maintenance than exotic, introduced species.They diversify our farms, so that risks of pest outbreaks can be lower. They provide habitat and food for wildlife and diverse benefits for us from their fruits, timber, leaves, and traditional medicine. Introduced, or exotic species, can provide many benefits, but some can become weedy and crowd out other trees or crops. When we plant indigenous trees on our farms, we are helping protect species that have been useful to our mothers and fathers, to our grandparents, and to the people and wildlife of Kenya for generations. We are still learning about the benefits of the many species around us.When we plant indigenous species, we can help ensure that the trees and their benefits are there for our children. Which tree species are indigenous? There are hundreds of indigenous tree species in Kenya, and many introduced species that also provide good benefits. Here are some examples of each: Indigenous trees for Kenya. Cordia africana Meru oak, muhuru, (Vitex keniensis) Mugumo, Mirumba, (Ficus thonningii) Podo, Muthengera (Podocarpus falcatus) Mwiria, (Prunus africana) Mutoo, mukeu, Dombeya rotundifolia Murubati, Muuti, (Erythrina abyssinica) Sesibania, (Sesbania sesban) Muuuku (Terminalia brownii) Mikongoro, (Acacia albida) Mihogoro, (Acacia abyssinica) Some other trees have been in Kenya for a long time, and are very useful, but are not indigenous. Some of these include mango, macadamia, casuarina, gravellia, bottlebrush, and Mexican green ash. Try planting some indigenous trees in your shamba today! Look around and see what species grow in the forests near you.Ask your neighbors and cluster members what trees they grow, and which trees in forests provide important benefits for them.

 If we work together, we can protect this great resource of diverse forests for our children and generations to come. Indigenous trees: What are they, and why are they important? ENGLISH VERSION 5 ENGLISH VERSION 6 L ike your car, your body runs on fuel, but feeling energetic takes more than filling up with calories. Regular meals at intervals throughout the day is important – don’t skip meals. Repeated cycles of low and high blood sugar sap our physical and mental energy. One sure way to keep your blood-sugar level more constant is to eat regular meals. While you may not be hungry, eating something small at meal times, even a piece of fruit, can help to stabilize your blood sugar level. Keep away from really sweet stuff. When our body’s blood sugar level indicator flashes red we tend to crave simple carbohydrates, such as biscuits and chocolate, which give quick energy. Although such foods can give us a momentary lift, they often just give us calories with no useful minerals or vitamins. We feel satisfied for a short time, but then our blood sugar can quickly become low again and the cycle of craving for a sugary snack continues. 

More regular meal times, or healthier snacks (a handful of nuts, a boiled egg, a banana, some roasted grain) are preferable. Regular physical activity energizes the body in a number of ways. First, it can help improve the oxygen supply to the brain and other parts of body. It strengthens the heart and lungs, and with some light weight resistance, can increase our bone density. Regular exercise can help reduce our risk of type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It also makes us feel alert and more able to concentrate on our tasks.Another advantage of regular exercise is its effect on sleep. Devotees of regular daytime exercise seem to sleep better. A good time to get some extra rest is after lunch. Take off your shoes, turn out the lights, and put your calls on hold and sleep. Fifteen to twenty minutes is all you should need to feel refreshed. More sleep will leave you feeling lethargic. About 90 percent of mammals get their quota of sleep as an accumulation of naps during the day and night. A well-timed nap does wonders for your energy levels and productivity. Learn to take a power nap. Food generates waste and without water the body cannot properly rid itself of these waste products made during the process of creating energy. To help the body flush waste, get into the habit of drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Coffee, tea and cola are refreshing and give a quick lift, but go easy on caffeine. It has stimulating effect on the brain and hinders your chances of getting quality sleep. The later in the day you consume caffeine, the more likely it is to disturb your slumber. If you are sensitive to caffeine, stick to one or two drinks a day and avoid it after midday. Since regular tea, coffee and colas are diuretics (which mean they can dehydrate us) it’s good advice to drink one cup of water in addition to every cup of those drinks you take. Otherwise try herbal teas, many of which do not contain caffeine and are naturally rehydrating. Some reports say moderate, regular alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks per day) by men over 40 and postmenopausal women can reduce the risk of heart disease in the long term. 

However, overdoing it with the booze and we kiss our vitality goodbye. Alcohol is one of the things that can cause our blood sugar to soar, and then plummet precipitously. That’s partly why we often feel terrible the morning after a few drinks. Too much alcohol dehydrates the body and over time weakens the liver. Excessive alcohol intake is also associated with liver disease, some cancers and problems with your heart. If you’re going to drink, don’t have more than one or two drinks a night. Most people sitting at their desk tend to slump forward, which causes physical imbalance and discomfort, says Richard Casebow, a practitioner of the Alexander Technique at the Holistic Health Centre in Edinburgh. If you spend a significant proportion of your time at a desk make sure you are sitting comfortably. Choose a chair that is sturdy and adjustable, allowing you to alter the height and back of seat. Your hips and knees should be level with feet placed comfortably flat on the floor and position the back of the chair to support your lower back. Attitude can have a powerful influence on how dynamic we feel. There is nothing like dreading a particular task to make us feel tired and unmotivated. Fortunately, there’s a neat mental trick we can play on ourselves to help us over any negative mental hurdles. Instead of focusing on the potential horror of the task in hand, concentrate on the feeling of satisfaction you will enjoy on its successful completion. If your other half is nagging you to put up some kitchen shelves, picture the completed shelves next to your partner’s happy smiling face, rather than chaos you expect to manufacture with few lengths of wood. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing, but that is just what some of us need every once in a while to get back on our feet. Some complementary therapies can be very effective in helping the body take time out. Massage and aromatherapy are not just good for relaxing the body; they can also be energizing and stimulating.

Ndani ya Gazeti: KISWAHILI VERSION 2 Kiandiu TIST Cluster members receiving their tree incentive vouchers last month. M wanzo Novemba mwaka jana, tulianza kutoa vocha kwa baadhi ya Clusters TIST. Katika mwezi wa Desemba, zaidi ya Clusters 60 walipata malipo yao. Mwezi uliopita, sisi tulitoa vocha kwa Clusters mingi. Baadhi yao watapokea malipo yao mwezi huu na ujao. Tutaendelea kulipa Vikundi vidogo. Tungetaka kuwakumbusha wakulima wa TIST kuwa malipo hayo ni malipo ya mapema au kabla ya malipo. Kama katika sekta ya chai au kahawa au sekta ya maziwa ambapo wakulima wanapewa malipo ya awali na baadaye zinakatwa wakati wa malipo ya mwisho, malipo ya TIST yatakatwa wakati faida ya Kabon itafanywa. Makubaliano maarufu ya mauzo ya Kaboni, yajulikanayo kamaMkataba wa GhG, ni wazi juu ya malipo ya kaboni. Tafadhali jadilini suala hilo katika mikutano yenuya Cluster. Kama una maswali, hebu viongozi katika Cluster yako au Cluster servants wawasiliane na mwanachama yeyote wa Baraza la Uongozi kwa msaada na kuungwa mkono. Umearifiwa katika malipo ya vocha ya miti, kwenye taarifa kuhusu tani za Kabon“ sequestered”na tani zaKabonza kuthibitishwa. Tani za Kabon ambazo ni“sequestered” ni zile tani ambazo zimepimwa baada ya shamba lako kukaguliwa na Cluster Mtumishi wako. 

Tani za Kabon zilizothibitishwani tani ambazo baada ya kubainishwazimekaguliwa na wakaguzi wa nje. Kwa ajili ya Ashera kuhakikishwa, ni lazima kupitia uhakiki wa kisheria ambao ni kuweka vyombo vya kimataifa kusimamia soko la kaboni na shughuli kama vile Verified Carbon Standards (VCS). Tunasikitika kwamba malipo ya awali yalituchukua muda mrefu kabla hatujayarekebisha makosa kwenye hifadhi data yetu ambayo ilisababisha malipo potofu katika siku za nyuma. Ukiyaona makosa yoyote katika vocha, tafadhali mjulisheCluster Servant wako au wasiliana naFrancis Kibe kupitia 0722909647 au Jane Kanja kupitia 0713436028 au mwanachama yeyote wa Baraza la Uongozi. N chini Kenya, tutaanza ukaguzi wetu wa pili wa “TIST Program in Kenya VCS005.”Ukaguzi huu utakuwa mkubwa Zaidi kuliko ule wa kwanza kwa vile tumeongeza miamo 14,000 mipya.Kwa jumla ya miamo 21,000, idadi hii itakuwa kubwa. Kama sehemu ya mchakato, itatubidi tuthibitishe KE-VCS-005 chini ya toleo la 3 ya CCB kama “TIST Program in Kenya CCB005.”Ili kupokea uthibitisho na uhakikisho, ni lazima kuonyesha kwamba TIST ni manufaa kwa hali ya hewa, jamii na viumbe hai. CAAC ina mkataba na EPIC Sustainability Services Private Limited, mkaguzi aliyethibitishwa na CCBA, kuendesha uthibitisho na uhakiki. EPIC itakuwa ikifanya utalii wa uwanja wake wa ziara mwezi wa Februari tarehe 2 hadi 4, mwaka wa 2017. TIST: Malipo yavikundi vindogo inayoendelea. Matangazo ya kutalii miradi mipya ya CCB. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 Wanachama wa Cluster ya TIST wakisikiza na kuwaangalia Ben na Charlie (kutoka Amerika)wakizungumza katika semina eneo laGitoro, Meru.. T IST imefanikiwa vizuri katika mifumo yote ya binadamu na mifumo ya Teknolojia. Tumetuzwa tuzo mbalimbali kwa sababu ya kufanya mambo kipekee vizuri kwa manufaa ya wakulima. Baadhi ya tuzo ni pamoja na; ü TIST Voted Best Offsetting Project, Environmental Finance – 2016 ü TIST Voted Best Offsetting Project, Environmental Finance – 2015 ü First in the World to Verified under VCS and CCBA Mwezi uliopita katika semina ya Cluster Servants, tulijaribu njia mpya ya kutumia teknolojia ya kusaidia kuimarisha semina na mawazo ya ziada kutoka kwa watu mbali mbali katika mabara. Ben Henneke, Vannesa na Charlie waliongea na semina kutoka Amerika kupitia mikutano ya kivideo. Ingawa haikuwa hivyo katika tukio la kwanza, sisi tuliibuka bora zaidi juu ya jaribio la pili. Tunatarajia kuendelea kuboresha hivi. Hivi karibuni, ni matumaini yetu kwamba Clusters nyingi zitakuwa kubadilishana mawazo na njia bora za utendakazi katika muda halisi. K ama sehemu ya mpya ya mchakato waCommunity Climate and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA), tunataka kumkumbusha kila mtu kwamba TIST, na maadili ya TIST, hayaruhusu unyanyasji wa kijinsia au ubaguzi. Unyanyasaji wowote wa kijinsia ni marufuku pamoja na au kusisitizia ngono ya mapema, kuomba kwanjia ya ngono, au mienendo mingine ya matusi au kimwili ya asili ya ngono kutoka kwa yeyote aliye katika TIST ambayo yanajenga usumbufu na/au kuathiri kazi pia hayakubaliki. Dhuluma ya kibaguzi hufanyika kwawalio na madhara ya matibabu au ya mtu kutokana na rangi, dini (imani), jinsia, kujieleza jinsia, umri, asili ya kitaifa (ukoo), ulemavu, hali ya ndoa, au mwelekeo wa kijinsia, katika shughuli au utendakaziwowote wa TIST. Kama unajiskia ya kwamba umekuwa ukisumbuliwa kwakusisitizia ngono ya mapema, wasiliana na Baraza la Uongozi na kuomba uchunguzi au uulizienjia rasmi ya kuanza kuwasilisha kero. Nakala zote mbili za sera zinapatikana kwenye TIST Mobile. Njia rasmi ya utaratibu ya kuanza kuwasilisha kero pia inapatikana kwenye tovuti ya TIST Mobile (www.tist.org/mobile). Kama huwezi pata usaidizi wa huduma hii kwenye simu yako, muache Kiongozi wa Cluster au Mtumishi wa Cluster kuiwasilisha rasmi kwa ajili yenu katika mkutano wa pili wa Cluster. Unaweza pia kumuita mmoja wa wajumbe wa Baraza la Uongozi na kumuaomba kukusaidia kuanza mchakato huo. TIST: Kujaribu Technologia ya kisasa katika Kuimarisha Mawasiliano na Ushirikiano. Unyanyasaji wa Kimapenzi, ubaguzi na Malalamiko. 

KISWAHILI VERSION 4 V ikundi vingi vidogo vya TIST vimeripoti ya kwambambinu bora za kilimo haivimewasaidia kupata mavuno mazuri, hata katika miaka mibaya kabisa wakati mvua ni kidogo na haina uhakika. Katika miaka mizuri, mavuno yamekuwa ya kuvutia. Baadhi ya vikundi katika maeneo ya ukame wana taarifa ya uboreshaji wa mavuno ya mara 2 hadi 5! Katika kilimo hai, wewe huongeza mbolea kwa mashimo ambapo wewe hupanda mazao yako na kuondoka, yaache mabaki ya mimea juu ya shamba, na bila kulima kwa sababu njia hii husaidia kuepuka mimomonyoko ya udongo na upotevu wa virutubisho vya udongo. Kwa njia hii mazao ya mbegu hupata virutubisho zaidi kuliko wakati ule ambaoyalikuwayamepandwakwa kutumia mbinu za kilimo cha kisasa.Virutubisho hivi vya ziada husaidia mbegu kuota na kuwa mimea ya nguvu ili kutoa mazao zaidi. Mashimo haya huleta faida nyingine pia. Kwa mfano, yana umuhimu sana wakati wa mvua, kwa sababu badala ya udongo mzuri na mbegu kubebwa na maji mtiririko, mbegu husaidiwa kukua vizuri. Mchanganyiko wa mashimo na mbolea ina maana kwamba maji yatawekwa karibu na mbegu kwa muda mrefu. Mashimo pia husaidia kwa kulinda mbegu na unaweza kupalilia kwa njia ya kuzunguka shimo bila kuumiza mimea. Kumbuka kwamba wakati ule unapoenda kuvuna mazao yako, usiwaruhusu wanyama kuharibu au usiyachome masalio ya shamba lako. Mabaki ya mazao yako huoza na kurejesha rutuba kwa kiwwango kingi kwa udongo, kuanda kurutubisha udongo kwa ajili ya msimu ujao. M aadili ya TISTyanatuhitaji tuwe waaminifu, sahihi, wazi, tuwajibike, na tuwe watumishi wa kila mmoja.TIST ni familia. Tunataka kila mtu kujisikia kuhusika na kushiriki kikamilifu. Mapendekezo yoyote, mawazo, wasiwasi au malalamiko yanapaswa kusikika na kushughulikiwa. Ili kuyakamilisha yaliyotajwa hapo juu, vikundi vidogo vinasisitizwa kuzungumza na kila mmoja wa wanachama wao, kuwasikia ili kubadilishana mawazo na njia bora za utendakazi. Katika mikutano ya Cluster, majadiliano ya wazi na ushiriki ni lazim. Masuala ambayo yanahitaji ufafanuzi au yanahitaji msaada au maswali lazima yawe katika kumbukumbu nayapitishwe kwa Vikundi vya Clusters Council almaarufu GOCC au katika Baraza la Uongozi.Viongozi wa Cluster na Cluster Servants wanatakiwa kuhakikisha habari hizo ni zimewasilishwa kwa ufanisi kwa GOCC na Baraza la Uongozi. Kwa upande mwingine, GOCC naBaraza la Uongozi yanapaswa kuwasiliana na Clusters au vikundi vidogo ili kutoa maoni maaminifu, sahihi na wazi. Vikundi vya Clusters Council (GOCC) vinapaswa kuyawasilisha masuala ambayo yanahitaji ufafanuzi au msaada kwa Baraza la Uongozi. 

Tunafaa kumsikiliza kila mmoja. Tuwe watumishi wa kila mmoja. Tusaidiane na tushiriki kusaidiana na mawazo na utendakazi bora ili kukamilisha matokeo makubwa kwa bajeti ya chini. TIST: Kupata Mapendekezo yako, Mawazo, Wasiwasi, Malalamiko ya pamoja na ya Kusikika. Februari - Machi ni wakati kamilifu wa kuanza maandalizi shambani kwako kwa kilimo hai. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 W akulima wa TIST hupanda mamia ya aina mbalimbali ya miti, ikiwa ni pamoja na matunda na mbegu za mafuta miti, miti kwa ajili ya lishe, miti ambayo kuboresha rutuba ya udongo, na aina ya kwamba inaweza kuvunwa kwa mbao. Zaidi na zaidi wakulima wanaendelea kuchagua kupanda miti ya asili kwa manufaa yao mingi. Mti wa kiasili ni upi? Mti wa kiasili ni mti ambao umechukuliwa na eneokwa sababu umeongezeka na kuzalishwa kwa kawaida kwa kipindi cha muda mrefu. Si aina zote ambazo zinajulikana nasi ambazo ni asili.Aina nyingi za miti zimekuwa zikiletwa nawatu kutoka maeneo mbali mbali. Hivi sasa, kuna zaidi ya aina 800 ya miti ambayo ni asili ya Kenya. Miti ya asili ina umuhimu? Kwa sababu miti ya asili imekuwa katika mazingira ya mahali hapo, wanyama, mimea, na viumbe wengine karibu nao, miti hii inafaa kwa eneo hilo. Mara nyingi, hii ina maana kwamba inaweza kukua vizuri bila pembejeo ghali za ziada kama dawa au mbolea. Miti hii mara nyingi inahitaji matengenezo chini ya kigeni na pia aina za vishawishi. Inaleta miseto katika mashamba yetu, ilikuweka hatari ya kuzuka wadudu chini. Hii hutoa makazi na chakula kwa faida ya wanyamapori na mbalimbali kwa ajili yetu kutoka matunda yao, mbao, majani, na dawa za jadi. Miti hii, iwe ya kuletwa, au kigeni aina, inaweza kutoa faida nyingi, lakini baadhi inaweza kuwa na magugu na vinasonga miti mingine au mazao mengine. Wakati tunapopanda miti ya asili kwenye mashamba yetu, tunasaidia kulinda aina ambayo imekuwa na manufaa kwa mama zetu na baba, na babu zetu, na watu na wanyamapori wa Kenya kwa vizazi vyetu na vijavyo. Tunaendelea kujifunza zaidi kuhusu faida za aina nyingi ya miti karibu nasi. 

Tunapopanda miti asili, tunaweza kusaidia kuhakikisha kwamba miti na faida zake ni pale kwa watoto wetu. Aina zipi za miti ni wazawa(indigenous)? Kuna mamia ya spishi asilia za mti nchini Kenya, na aina nyingi zilianzishwa kwa maana pia hutoa faida nzuri. Hapa ni baadhi ya mifano ya kila spishi: Miti ya asili nchini Kenya Cordia africana Meru oak, muhuru, (Vitex keniensis) Mugumo, Mirumba, (Ficus thonningii) Podo, Muthengera (Podocarpus falcatus) Mwiria, (Prunus africana) Mutoo, mukeu, Dombeya rotundifolia Murubati, Muuti, (Erythrina abyssinica) Sesibania, (Sesbania sesban) Muuuku (Terminalia brownii) Mikongoro, (Acacia albida) Mihogoro, (Acacia abyssinica) Baadhi ya miti mingine imekuwanchini Kenya kwa muda mrefu, na ni muhimu sana, lakini si wazawa. Baadhi ya hizi ni pamoja na maembe, macadamia, mvinje(casuarina), gravellia, bottlebrush, na MexicanGreen ash. Jaribu kupanda baadhi miti ya asili katika shamba lakoleo! Uangalie karibu nauone ni aina zipi zinazokua katika misitu karibu na wewe. Muulize jirani yako na wanachama wa Cluster ni miti gani ambayo hukua, na ni miti ipi inayotoa faida muhimu kwa ajili yao.. Kama tunafanya kazi pamoja, tunaweza kulinda rasilimali hii kubwa ya misitu mbalimbali kwa watoto wetu na vizazi vijavyo. Miti ya asili: Je, ninini, na yana umuhimu upi? KISWAHILI VERSION 6 K ama gari lako, iili yetu inatumia ngata ili kufanya kazi, lakini hisia ya nguvu uchukua zaidi ya kujijaza kwa kalori. Chakula cha vipindi vya mara kwa mara siku yote ni muhimu sana – usipitie masaa ya kukula. Mizunguko iliyofuatana ya sukari nyingi na ndogo katika damu hupunguza nguvu yetu ya kimwili na kiakili. Njia moja ya kuhakikisha sukari katika damu haibadiliki ni kula chakula kila baada ya muda Fulani. Hata usipokuwa na njaa, kula kitu kidogo wakati wa vyakula, ata kipande cha tunda, chaweza kudhibiti sukari katika damu yako. Jiepushe na vitu vilivyo vitamu sana. Wakati sukari katika miili yetu inaonyesha hatari mara nyingi tunatamani vyakula vyepesi vya wanga, kama biskuti na chokoleti, vinavyotupa nguvu ya haraka. Ingawa vyakula hivyo vyaweza kutupa nguvu ya upesi, hutupa kalori isiyo na madini na vitamin muhimu. 

Tunahisi tumeshiba muda cfupi, halafu sukari katika damu inashuka haraka tena na mzunguko wa kutamani kitu chenye sukari unaanza unaendelea. Chakula cha vipindi vilivyo sawa, ama vyakula vyepesi vyenye afya ( kama njugu chache, yai lililochemshwa, ndizi, njugu zilizochomwa) ni vyema. Michezo ya mwara kwa mara huupa mwili nguvu kwa kupitia njia mbalimbali. Kwanza, inasaidia kuongeza kiasi cha hewa ya oksijeni kinachofika ubongoni na katika sehemu zingine za mwili. Inatia moyo na mapafu nguvu na kwa upinzani usio mzito, huongeza uzito wa mifupa yetu. Michezo ya mara kwa marayaweza kupunguza uwezekana wa kupata ugonjwa wa kisukari aina II na wa moyo. Inatusaidia kusikia tupo tahadhari na wenye kumakinika katika kazi zetu. Faida nyingine ya michezo ya mara kwa mara ni katika usingizi. Wanaofanya michezo ya mara kwa mara hujipata wamelala vizuri zaidi. Wakati mzuri wa kupata mapumziko ya ziada ni baada ya chakula cha mchana. Toa viatu vyako, zima taa, zima simu na ulale.dakika kumi na tano au ishirini ndizo unazohitaji kulala ili kujisikia umechangamka. Usingizi zaidi hukufanya kujisika mnyonge. Asilimia tisini ya wanyama hupata usingizi wanaofaa kupitia usingizi kidogo kidogo mchana na usiku. Usingizi uliopimwa hufanya maajabu kwa nguvu yako na uzalishaji. Jifunze kulala usingizi wenye madaraka. Chakula hutoa uchafu na bila maji mwili hauwezi kuutoa uchafu huu unaotengenezwa katika mchakato wa kutengeza nishati. Kusaidia mwili kutoa uchafu huu, jizoeshe kunywa maji nyingi siku yote. Kahawa, chai na cola husisimua na kutuongeza nishati ya haraka, lakini punguza kahawa na chai. Hivi vina uwezo wa kusisimua ubongo na hupunguza uwezekano wa kupata usingizi tosha. Unavyokunywa hivi vinywaji usiku zaidi, ndivyo unavyoongeza uwezekano wa kusumbua usingizi wako. Iwapo mwili wako huhisi hii kafeni kwa haraka, kunywa kikombe kimoja au viwili kwa siku na hujiepushe nayo baada ya saa sita mchana. Kwa sababu chai, kahawa na cola ya kawaida hupunguza maji mwilini) ni ushauri mzuri kunyua kikombe kimoja cha maji pamoja na kila kikombe cha hivi vinywaji unchokunyua. Kama si hivyo jaribu chai zenye mitishamba, nyingi ambazo hazina kafeni na zinaupa mwili maji. Baadhi ya ripoti husema pombe kidogo, ya mara kwa mara (chupa moja au mbili) kwa wanaume wenye umri zaidi ya arobaini na wanawake waliopitisha umri wa kupata watoto yaweza kupunguza uwezekano wa ugonjwa wa moyo kwa muda mrefu. Hata hivyo kunyua sana na tunayaaga maisha kwaheri. Pombe ni kitu kimoja kinachoweza kufanya sukari katika damu kupanda mara moja na kasha kushuka kwa upesi. Hiyo ndiyo moja ya sababu za kusikia vibaya sana asubuhi baada ya chupa chache. Pombe nyingi huacha mwili hukiwa hauna maji na baada ya muda humaliza nguvu ya ini. Kunyua pombe kupita kiasi husababisha magonjwa ya ini, ugonjwa wa saratani mbali mbali na shida za moyo. Watu wengi wanaoketi mezani hulalia meza, jambo ambalo husababisha kukosekana kwa usawa wa kimwili na kusumbuka, asema Richard Casebow, daktari wa Alexander Technique, kituo cha afya cha Holistic Health Centre kilicho Edinburgh. Unapochukua muda mrefu ukiwa mezani hakikisha umekaa bila kusumbuka. Chagua kiti kilichosimama vizuri na kinachokuruhusu kubadilisha urefu na jinsi ulivyolalia kiti. Makalio na magoti yako yawe yamepimana na miguu yako iliyowekwa chini kwa ustarehe na ulaze mgogngo wako kitini ili kushikilia mgongo wako wa chini. Jinsi unavyochukua mambo ina ushawishi mkubwa wa mambo unayojihusisha nayo. Hakuna kitu kinachotufanya kuchoka na kupoteza motisha kama kuogopa kufanya kitu Fulani. Kwa bahati nzuri, kunavyo unaweza kuchezea ubongo wako ili kujisaidia kuepuka mafikira mabaya. Badala ya kufikiria sana kuhusu ubaya wa jambo unalofaa kufanya, makinika kwa hisia ya kuridhika utakayofurahia ukimaliza kufanya jambo hilo. Kama mwenzako anakusumbua kupigilia rafu jikoni, fikiria rafu zilizokamilika karibu na uso wa mwenzako wenye furaha badala ya machafuko unayotarajia kupata kutokana na mbao chache. Wakati mwingine kilicho kigumu kufanya ni kutofanya chochote, lakini jambo hili ndilo baadhi yetu huhitaji kila baada ya muda ili kurudisha nguvu yetu. Matibabu ya ziada yaweza kusaidia sana kupumzika. Matibabu ya massage na aromatherapy si mazuri tu katika kupumzisha mwili; yaweza kutumiwa pia kurudisha nguvu na kuusisimua mwili. Wakulima wa TIST – furahia afya nzuri!
