Box 1508 Nanyuki, Kenya Tel: 0724 - 255 369 TIST: The Importance of the Environment The environment is valuable in many different ways. Often severalof these factorsmay be overlooked when we think about an environmental resource.
Environmental value: the ways inwhich the resource benefits the physicalenvironment e.g. water purification. Biological value: the ways in which the resource benefits the diversity of life e.g. habitat creation,food, water.Health value: e.g. medicinal properties, water and food.Material value: e.g. the resource being used forConstructionShelterClothingEnergy requirementsEconomic value: the ways in which the resource can be used for economicgain e.g. selling of produce, tourism, bees pollinate flowers and trees. Spiritual value: in some religions, spiritual value is attached to the physical environment. As Christians, we are stewards of the earth,and are supposedto take care of Gods creation.Aesthetic value: admiring beauty and enjoying the smells and tastes ofthe resources. Importantfor leisure and tourism. It is importantnot to focus on one or two types of value and thereby undervalue the resource e.g. Loggers may only consider the present economic gains of a forest, ignoring the environmental, biological, aesthetic and spiritual values.
Hence greater damageis done than first thought. When you look outside onyour Shamba and across the land, think about the ways you value the different aspects of your environment, and think about the ways that you think you and TIST could do more to add more to the environmental value of the land around you. A fireless cooker:Kajuu Mutitu Small Groups membershave innovated new practices of making firelesscookers from locally available materials. Small Group Techniques: Group interaction What is the best way to arrange people during a small group meeting? A small circle is the best. Dont have a tablebecause itcreates barriers between people. Dont have a chair and a large seat for the most important person. In TIST, we all sit the same way. We either all sit on the ground, or weall sit on chairs. What do you do iƒ more than twelve people want to join your group? If there are more than twelve people interested in joining your group it is best to form a new group. The group can split in two, or three or four members of the original groupform the core of the new group.This is betterthan one member trying to start a group alone. Remember to start using rotating leadership straight away. What techniques can you use iƒ the groupenergy is low? Split up the group into pairs and get each pair to talk about the task. Dramas also help. Sometimes stopping and each person sayingsomething good that their group is doingcan also motivatepeople again. Also remember to keep the meeting from becoming too long.
By having a co-leader who is keeping time, you can focus the groups energy to making sure the work gets done in the agreed upon time period. TIST: The Best Practice in Conducting Weekly Meetings. Meeting Schedule. In managing our time better, asmall group should have well-organized meeting schedule. This is important because it will help your small group keep focus of your agendas and other activities. It is important too, for your small group to be having regular meetings. For instance, once a week or once after two weeks. This will give all members in your small group an opportunity to strengthen your groupand also share and learn new ideas. During your meeting, it is necessary to focus on important issues. To be able to accomplish this, other TIST small groupshave practiced the below stepswhen conducting their meetings; Step I.Greetings and introductions for any new members (5 15 minutes):Make sure everyone feelswelcomed. Make it brief but let each of you introduce himselfor herself. Step II. Opening prayer (2 minutes): It is important to begin your meeting with a word of prayer. Keep it short. Step III. Songs(5 minutes): These could be songs written by your group, or songs that encourage peoplesuch as religious songs. Step IV. Agreement ontask and time (5 minutes): The leader explains what will be done in the meeting and the group membersagree to do the task. The time spent should be agreed so that the co-leader can help keep the meetingon time. Step V. Group work on tasks (1hour): Ideally the tasks shouldhave been discussed at the end of the last meeting. Tasks might include sharingwhat each person has done to help TIST activities, sharing best practices, training and any other important issue that will help your small groupto prosper. Step VI. Kujengana (5 minutes): Each group member makes one positive, specific statement to that weeks leader about his or her observable leadership of the meeting. In addition, anyone may identify a gift seen in the leader. Step VII. Closing prayer (2 minutes): End your meeting with a word of pray.
Small Group Best Practices: Action Steps and Action Planning TIST groups do alot ofpractical activities: planting trees and improving agricultural techniques. When there is a lot of work to be done by the group it is good to have action steps. Each group member should tell the group what they are going to achieve that week. We are going to teach you and your Small Group how to do actionplanning. Please share this with other members of your Small Group during your meeting. An action step is somethingthat is: SpecificObservable (a fly on the wall can see you do it!)MeasurableHas a beginning and an endMake sure your action step isrealistic and that you can achieve it! For example, saying I will plant trees is not an action step because it is too general.I will work on three mornings this week to transplant 75 seedlings into our new grove is an action step because it is specific (transplant 75 seedlings), observable (people can see you do it), measurable (75 seedlings, 3 mornings) and has a beginning and an end (at the end of three days you can see the results). When your groupmeets again, allow ten minutesnear the end of the small groupmeeting for each person to report on his or her action step. Each person quickly: Tells the group what their action step was for the past week.States what they actually did.States what action step they will take for the following week. If the person succeeded in his or her action step, the group celebrates the success. If, as often happens to start with, the group member met only part of his goal, the group encourages him / her and does not criticize or blame. When people are able to freelyshare their successes and failures they will be encouraged to do better each week. Encourage your Small Group membersto think of possible action steps. Make sure it is specific, measurableand realistic! Get to share some action stepsthat your smallgroup has accomplished. Action Steps for Action Planning A similar method can beused when planning. Here an example is given in brackets. When your groupis planning what to do, make sure your plans are: Specific (Our TIST Small Group will plant 1000 trees at the local hospitalby November 30) Measurable (How many?- 1000 trees will be planted) Achievable/Realistic (Our TIST Small Group can plant 1000 trees in 5wks 100trees per Tuesdayand Thursday, 10 trees per person/per day) Time-bound (Hasa beginning and an end - we will plant the trees between Oct 15 to Nov 30) Observable (A fly on the wall can see us planting) SMARTO! This is the guide and test of your actionsteps for yourplan and helpsyou be specific: What (Planting 1000 trees)Who (TIST Small Group members by name)When (Oct 15 Nov30)Where (At the hospital)How (We meet every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon after the heat of the day and dig holes, then plant the trees)Why (To improve the area around the hospital, have more shade for patients and visitors, people can sit under trees and the shade will make the hospital cooler) Now, try to practice actionplanning in your next smallgroup meeting. Kujengana: Dont miss the blessing for your Small Group. 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. Thereare two parts to Kujengana: Before the closing prayer, every person in the groupsays one specific, positivething 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 meetingor 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. In addition,if someone sees a gift shown by the leader, a group member can also say that. This is optional. With Rotating Leadership, each week anew leader will receive Kujengana. Through Kujengana we encourage each other on the good things that weeks 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 trainour 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 previousleaders and know what the groups think is important in being a servant leader. In response to Kujengana, that weeks servant leader just says, Thank you. after each group members 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 thingshe or she did during the meeting. Sometimes we learn things about ourselves we didnt 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 SmallGroup because all the members improve their servant leadership as they learn. Kujengana is a double blessing! Water Management: Water pollution What are causesoƒ water pollution? Discharge of untreated industrial waste and sewageCareless human action around water points (rivers, wells, boreholes) Poor drainageDiscarded old batteries in the water or near water drainage sources. Batteries have toxic materials.
Bathing and washing at the water sourceChildren playingat the water sourceDefecating andurinating near and around the water sourceCracked cover slab at boreholes or wellsLack of latrines in rural areas. Rain water can wash human waste into water sources. Consequences oƒ water pollution Disruption to plant and animal life through direct poisoningor eutrophication (when nitrogen-based fertilizers are washed into water, causing increased plant growth and subsequent loss of oxygen and death for aquaticanimals)Spread ofdisease when polluted water isused for cooking, washing and drinking (intestinal worms, skin diseases, cholera,diarrhoea).Death of animals and humans. Children have the weakest immune systems, and are therefore more likely to die from water pollution than adults. Would you want your children drinking what you threw into the water? Specific action steps small groups can take to reducewater pollution (solutions). Encourage people to avoid throwing rubbish and pouringwastewater into water bodies.Plant trees along the banks of rivers and lakes to stop soil from enteringwater bodies.Avoid growingcrops too close to a river, lake or well (to avoidfertilizer reaching the water sources).Do not allow people to build too close to riverbanks.Manage boreholes and wells properly: Do not allow people to wash near the pumpKeep rubbishaway from the pumpFence the water source to prevent animals from contaminating the waterEnsure pit latrines are at least 50m awayMake sure there is adequate drainage. Create channels to drain away water, ending in a soak pit (a hole filled with stones wherewater can drainaway).Repair allcracks onthe cover slab assoon as they occurClean the area regularly.Dispose of batteries responsibly. Do not burn them or throw them in the water. Gachiuki Women Small Group: We have benefiteda lot. We, Gachiuki Women Small Group, are from Gankere village. We are under Kinyaritha Field office. We joined TIST program in year 2005. We have been engaging nursery preparation, tree planting in the forest and reserves, public land, church groundsand even in our own lands. Activities. Other than tree planting, we have practiced conservation farming. We have about 3 acres of banana plantation under conservation farming. The bananas are doing very well and the group members are benefiting from selling them.We have also benefited from fresh beans.Also under conservation farming. Many of our members get a lot of money. We are impressed by good market of fresh beans this time around. Song about TIST. We are grateful to TIST for having honored their promise of paying us for the trees we have planted,cared for and kept alive.We have received money through M-Peas system. For our gratitude, we have composed the below song (Mugithi song) A wira a TIST Nimaingire x3 Mugithi uyu wa TIST Arutani a Tist ni marikuo x3 Mugithiuyo wa TIST Atari a miti marikuu mugithinix3 Mugithi uyu wa TIST Andu a America mari mugithinix3 Mugithi uyu wa TIST Mugithi ni uthii na mbereMugithi uyu x3 Mugithi uyu x3 Mugithi uyu wa TIST May God bless you all. Policy on Short Rotation Trees. It is important for your small group to adhere to the following policies that are helpfulin assuring sound sustainable growth in the carbon credit business; Each group needs to submit a Forest Plan within the first two years of their membership in the TIST Program. The Forest Plan would include the following issues: Each Grove would be made up of mixed species of trees;Each group would beencouraged to plant and maintain high-value trees such as fruit and nuts, or those with long-term value as timber (such as teak);Tree specieswhich are treatedas bushes or hedges (less than 4 m tall) would not be counted as TIST trees; Each group would agree in the Forest Plan not to cut any live trees for a minimum of 10 years; Harvesting live trees after 10 years would be allowed up to 5% of the groups trees peryear; No tree grove would be clear-cut at any time, but rather trees would beselectively harvested so that the soil was not exposedto drought and degradation. In order to qualify as a Best Small Group and thus be eligible to become a Mentor Group, the Small Group must plant less than 33% of the treesas short rotation trees.
All TIST Groups shouldhave less than 50% short rotation trees to remain in the TIST Program. Present groups who have planted much more than 50% short rotationtrees will have five years (until 2012) to plant additional trees and or harvest present trees until they meet this requirement. If a cluster harvests more than the 5% maximum in a year, the entire cluster would go on a net carbon accounting basis for their payments. This might mean that their payments were unchanged, or it might mean that their payments were reduced for the whole cluster because of allowing too many trees to be cut. www.tist.org MAINIRA BORA October 2008 Newsletter KIMERU VERSION NOT FOR SALE.
