WENDANI - A SMALL GROUP: ENERGY SAVING JIKO SAVING US A LOT OF FOOD FUEL.
We Wendani - A small group, under Narumoro office, are happy for having been trained on development of Energy saving Jiko. Our field trainers from Narumoro offices carried out a practical demonstration on how to construct this jiko. The demonstration took place at one of our member kitchen, Mrs. Mary Wamuyu Mwai.
All our 12 members attended this demo. We all learnt and we are now preparing ourselves to make the second jiko on our own. Our group comprises of 11 women and only one man. We are confident and determined to ensure that all our members have this kind of a jiko each.
Gikundi kinini kia Wendani: Mariko ma kuhonokia ngu citu.
Ithui wendani – Gikundi kinini kiri rungu rwa Wabichi ya Narumoro, turi akenu niundu wa guthomithio iguru ria mariko ma kuhonokia ngu. Atuthomithia kuma Narumoro nimatuonirie na ngerekano uria mariko maya mathondekagwo. Ngerekano ino yekiirwo rikoini ria umwe witu niwe Mary Wamuyu Mwai.
Andu othe 12 a Gikundi gitu nimokite. Ithuothe nitwathomire na turehaririria gwithondekera mariko maitu. Gikundi gitu gikoragwo na atumia 11 na muthuri umwe. Tunamwihoko ati o umwe witu ni ekugia na riko tariri.
English: TIST participants get an opportunities to learn on new technologies such as energy saving jiko when they come together. The picture show TIST members in a local seminar. Kikuyu:
We have witnessed the enormous benefits of this jiko. Firstly, Mrs. Mwai now uses less wood fuel. This has enabled her to spend less money on wood fuel. Secondly, the jiko is smoke-free hence makes cooking even enjoyable! It also reduces the risks of our small kids from getting burnt, as they get closer to cooking place as it happens when using traditional jiko. Besides the making energy saving jikos, we have also been taught on Conservation Farming. We have practiced it during this long rain season and the crops are doing well in the fields. We are optimistic of having better yields this year.
During a recent local seminar held at Muriru Catholic Church, we learnt so many new things. Most importantly, we were taught on servant leadership and rotational leadership. This has helped us in managing our small group better. We were also taught on importance of planting trees in regard to cleaning the air by reducing pollution levels. Members now feel that they have a role to play in making our atmosphere clean.
We are thankful to field trainers and TIST trainer for facilitating the seminar.

KINYARITHA OFFICE: TIST SMALL GROUPS JOINING HANDS WITH COMMUNITIES IN WATER HARVESTING PROJECT.
TIST small groups in Limauru sub-location of the newly created Tigania district are teaming up with other community members in construction of water pans that harvest rainwater. This initiative has received support from the area member of parliament, Hon. Kiremi Mwiria, who also doubles as an Assistant Minister for Education. Hon. Mwiria was impressed by this technology and has approached our Kinyaritha Office to extend our services to community to other areas. He’s particularly appealing to our office to extend the program to Muriri area.
The communities and TIST small group are now able to nurture more seedlings in the nurseries as they get easier access of water from water pan points. This has resulted to a tremendous increase of new trees transplant in the farms. We, Kinyaritha office are happy about this new best practice. We intend to replicate in other areas. As we focus on new areas of Kalithilia, Ndiriine, Laare, Karama, Buuri and Muriri, we will also incorporate this technology in our trainings.
In new areas that we have already covered, such as Karama and Buuri towards Isiolo district, we have trained TIST farmers on Conservation Farming, HIV/Aids, Energy saving jikos and Tree planting. The farmers have embraced TIST program fully and they were happy to learn new things that will ultimately improve their lives.
In Buuri area, which is an arid area, farmers were anxious to learn Conservation Farming. They were optimistic and hopeful that they will make harvest from Conservation Farming. Most of residents in this area are nomadic pastorists. They are now slowly adopting arable farming & conservation agriculture has impressed them.

CHUGU OFFICE: TAKE CARE OF NATURE AND IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
Human beings have a tendency to think that we can survive without the rest of creation. This may not be quite so explicit, but our actions suggest this kind of thinking. Looking at pollution in the world today; air, water and soil are mercilessly abused.
Forests are becoming desert and wild animals experience little mercy from humanity. Sometimes, it is as if there is no one who really cares. It’s now well known that we cannot exist if the other parts or locations do not exit. The Bible and science agree that before humanity existed, the earth with all it’s components existed; they existed before we did.

English:TIST field trainers from a Best Small Group Training others small groups. TIST encourages small groups to share experiences and best practices themselves. Kikuyu:
The way we relate to our God is confiscated by the way we react with this creation. A person who ruthlessly abuses nature is likely to be ruthless in dealing with himself and other people. This is because egotism is in play. But we need to remember that being part of creation, we suffer the consequences of the abuse inflicted on the earth and what it contains. One of the questions addressed dayby-day is “Famine disaster: what is the cause of this problem?’
The cause according to answers is poverty, and some may wonder what causes this poverty. My simple answer would be; nature has failed to provide because we have been merciless with it. One may have money, but if nature fails to provide, we all starve with money in our hands. Thus we cannot afford to underestimate the environment. Each bit of nature relies on the other to be. It is this mysterious symbiotic relationship that helps us appreciate the existence of God.
Christians should be in the lead in representing and preserving nature, something we fail to do. We leave it to a few personalities like professors. I wonder how many Christians use natural environmental during prayers and meditation, how many humble people that call for preservation of our environment or how often people engage in tree planting events. Do we as people utilize the rains by planting trees? Praying for flooded or dry areas while carelessly abusing nature is like choking someone to death while at the same time imploring God to help the victim. Let us be practical. Why ask others to do what we are not willing to do.
Let us learn how to preserve land and stop living as if those who shall live after us will be so extraordinary, they will not need water or oxygen. Whoever thinks he can own the earth is a fool; in fact, nature does not belong to us but we belong to it and it belongs to God and we can only be faithful and respectful stewards.
We all need a serious reconciliation with our environment; and the time is now.

TREE PLANTING.
The Importance of Trees
Trees are very important for environmental and material reasons:
A. Environmental improvement:
1. Trees cover soil, which protects it from wind and water erosion.
2. Leaves and twigs fall to the ground and provide the soil with extra nutrients.
3. Trees increase soil moisture by covering the soil and hence reducing evaporation.
4. Tree roots help bind the soil and therefore reduce erosion.
5. Tree roots also help water to enter the soil and hence improve underground water circulation.
6. Trees improve local weather conditions by increasing the amount of water vapor in the air (increased humidity).
7. Trees improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
8. Trees provide shade and shelter. B. Material and nutritional value:
1. Construction materials (furniture, posts, fences, rope etc.)
2. Fuel wood
3. Medicine
4. Food/fodder
PREPARING SEEDLINGS FOR TRANSPLANTING (HARDENING OFF)
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.
UHANDI WA MITI

Gradually reduce the watering and expose the seedlings to full sunlight during this month.
As a general guide (remembering different species have different characteristics) good seedlings for planting out have the following characteristics:
1. The shoot should be twice the length of the roots or the pot.
2. The stem should be strong and woody.
3. The seedlings should have many thin roots in addition to the main roots.
4. Many seedlings will achieve these characteristics two months after germinating.
TRANSPLANTING
1 Transport the seedlings in an upright position
2 Mark out a circle with a diameter of 30cm in the field
3 Remove the topsoil and place in a pile
4 Remove the next soil layer to a depth of 30cm and place in a separate pile
5 Put in a 5cm layer of grass (dry grass in rainy season, fresh grass in dry season), (called mulching). Some groups add manure as well.
6 Remove the seedling from the polythene bag. Do not break the earth-balls around the roots.
7 Place the seedling in the hole
8 Replace the topsoil first, then the second soil layer.
9 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.
10 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.
11 Water the seedlings.

Also remember that to give your seedling the best chance of survival you should plant the 2.5 - 3m apart. If you plant them closer together then the seedlings will not get all the water 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 2.5 - 3m.
WEEDING.
Now that the rains have started you should already have transplanted your seedlings into your groves. If you have not yet transplanted your seedlings you need to do so as quickly as possible. Your seedlings need to be transplanted now so that they can grow strong in the rainy season and survive the drier months.
You have seen in the section above how important trees are. We need to make sure we look after our seedlings so that they survive to become strong trees. The most important activity this month is to weed your seedlings. Keep the area where your seedlings are as clean as possible. Pull up any weeds that are growing near your seedlings. Weeding is important for these reasons: Kuhe mumera waku kamwanya ga kuringura, wagiriirwo kuhanda mumera waku utiganu wa 2.5 - 3m. ungikuhaniriria mimera yaku muno, ndingikura wega niundu wa gutharana mai na unuru. Igukura itari na hinya na noikue. Kogwo rumirira utaganu wa 2.5 - 3m.

Ta uria twonire mweri muthiru, miti niya bata muno niundu wa itumi ici:
English: TIST participants in a local seminar. Such seminars offers farmers a good chance to share best practices in planting trees. Kikuyu:
1. Your seedlings need water, soil nutrients and light to grow strong. If there are weeds they will compete with your seedling for these things. The weeds will use the soil nutrients and water that your seedlings need. The result is that your seedlings will be weaker and may not survive.
2. If your area is not weeded there will be more pests attracted to the area. Pests can damage and kill your seedlings. The fewer weeds there are, the less chance there will be of snakes and insects.
Here are some of the advantages of weeding your groves:
1. Trees grow faster because weeds don’t take the nutrients and water from the soil
2. Trees will become stronger and grow taller in a shorter period of time
3. Trees can get the sunlight they need unhindered
4. Trees are not exposed to as many diseases
5. Trees are more protected from a fire spreading
6. Clean groves indicate that small groups are maintaining them and are good examples of the TIST program. This will attract many people to come and see your work.
7. Clean groves enable the quantifiers to count the trees quickly and accurately It is important to protect the seedlings so that animals (e.g. goats) do not eat them or trample on them. Consider fencing the grove or surrounding seedlings with some thorn bushes.

WHY KUJENGANA IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR SMALL GROUP WEEKLY MEETING.
Kujengana is a very important part of your Small Group weekly meeting. It says in Ephesians 4:15,16 that we are to build each other up into the fullness of Christ. Each person in your TIST Small Group brings his or her own special talents and gifts to the entire group. One of the wonderful things that happen in the Small Group is recognizing, sharing and using those God-given talents.
Kujengana is a way to let those talents be seen and be used. There are two parts to Kujengana:
1. Before the closing prayer, every person in the group says one specific, positive thing that the leader did at that meeting. For example, smiled, kept to time, made good plans, encouraged all group members to speak, greeted me and made me feel welcome, pointed out something that was going very well in the meeting or in the work the group was doing, etc. Each member needs to say something different. This is not optional. Everyone gives Kujengana to the servant leader. Some groups also give Kujengana to the co-leader.
2. In addition, if someone sees a gift shown by the leader, a group member can also say that. This is optional.

English: Members of a small group doing a drama on how to conduct ‘Kunjengana’ in an In-house Training Kimeru:
With Rotating Leadership, each week a new leader will receive Kujengana. Through Kujengana we encourage each other on the good things that week’s leader did in the meeting and the talents the person showed. Kujengana is also the way we learn to look for positive things about people and then say them. We all need to train our tongues to say the positive. In addition, the whole group learns what that group thinks is important in a servant leader. The next leaders will benefit from what they have heard in Kujengana about previous leaders and know what the groups think is important in being a servant leader.
In response to Kujengana, that week’s servant leader just says, “Thank you.” after each group member’s specific, positive statement. There is no discussion about how it could have been done better, or differently. It is common for the person to be happy when he or she is told the good things he or she did during the meeting. Sometimes we learn things about ourselves we didn’t know!
Kujengana helps the leader on that day recognize his or her talents and keep on using them. Kujengana also is a help to the Small Group because all the members improve their servant leadership as they learn. Kujengana is a double blessing!
