Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 In TIST, together, we take action that all of the world can see. We plant trees. We build and use energy-saving stoves. We conserve and restore rivers by planting indigenous, water-friendly trees. When people see the work we do, more join and make TIST bigger and better. Let’s keep working hard to create big results! Here are some things people are saying about TIST’s work. Anthony King, Executive Director, Laikipia Wildlife Forum Ltd. The Laikipia Wildlife Forum is a member-based, grassroots environmental conservation organization. TIST has been a member of LWF for many years, and together we have been working to support smallholder farmers to develop woodlots.TIST has had significant reach in the area in which we work, overcoming the challenge to promote tree planting in small holdings. Rodney Portman, Chair, Berkeley Reafforestation Trustees TIST is in our opinion an outstanding programme working to improve poor farmers’ lives and incomes, with associated environmental, health and educational benefits. Robert Delve, Senior Technical Advisor - Agriculture and Environment, Catholic Relief Services As you know, TIST is primarily a carbon sequestration project, through promotion of tree planting schemes in smallholder farming systems around the world. They are primarily interested increasing the income options for smallholders and have purposively avoided plantation approaches to tree planting.Whilst this has certainly complicated their program, it has, and will continue to, provide income benefits to tens of thousands of individual households rather than a few large landowners.
This local community focus is what attracted CRS to currently co-invest with TIST in schemes in Kenya, Honduras and Nicaragua, and we continue to see where our future collaboration can be expanded to. Beyond the payments for live trees which benefit the communities whilst the trees are growing, they also add support activities around group strengthening, agricultural production – particularly conservation agriculture, and promotion of fuel efficient stoves – for improved air quality and reduced fuelwood use. These activities at an individual level are not really focused on increasing bio-diversity per se, but as the program increases in scale, there is the option of establishing protected animal corridors/migration routes, as well as linking their smaller sub-units into contiguous areas. I know that current discussions with the Kenya Forestry Services are focusing on allowing TIST groups to plant and manage trees in the Mau Forest Complex to re-forest and protect one of Kenya’s main water sources, and protect and increase its biodiversity.
• Promote excellence and innovation in project design. One of the areas that attracted CRS to this partnership was the transparency in the certification and auditing processes of TIST. The use of PDA’s and GPS units to count, verify and publish the locations, sizes, owners, and tree species openly and very quickly, overcomes one of the largest challenges in this area, in that you can see that the trees exist and are growing and being managed.
• Mitigate risk for investors CRS did audit TIST before we started working with them through our own internal processes, as the same questions always comes up - who are they? Are they serious? Are they honest? Who do they sell the carbon to? etc. So CCB certification would help TIST and the thousands of smallholders they work for, to formally show they are a respected and valuable development partner. It would also allow CRS to promote with greater clarity and accountability the partnership with TIST to private and public donors.And of course the more carbon TIST can sell through being certified, the more they will invest in smallholder families and the greater the benefits to them and the environment. All in all CRS is very happy working with TIST in this area of carbon payments and community development. We could have chosen one of the many companies around offering the same services, but we were impressed by their experience in the field of emissions standards and trading, their openness to collaboration, and their innovative and open certification system. Betty Tembo, Farmer, Vice chairlady, Institute for Culture and Ecology, Committee member, Methodist Church, Home- based care counselor What others say about TIST . ENGLISH VERSION 3 on HIV/AIDs TIST has helped us on wood fuel supply. We prune our trees, thin tight ones and get wood fuel. We get paid for our trees. We get timber for construction of our houses. We no longer go to the forest to cut trees. We practice CF and get better yields. We help each other in preparing CF lands. Compost manure is helping us reduce production costs because we don’t have to buy chemical fertilizer. Judith Kimathi Member, Institute of Culture and Quality; Secretary, Maendeleo ya Wanawake, Meru Municipality; TIST is good because for trees I have planted,
I get paid. I also get other benefits from trees such as fruits. CF has helped increase yield. My neighbours are happy with TIST. TIST has enabled community harmony because we are organized in groups – this helps us work together. Salome Mbabu,TIST Trainer, Kepap Agriculture group I support TIST. CF has increased food supply through trainings, reduced production costs through training on compost manure. The local environment has improved since TIST started in my areas. Hellen Gerald,TIST Farmer We planted trees and get payments. We get firewood. We now utilize our land better. We are being trained on clean cooking stoves and this helps save on food fuel and free of smoke cooking areas. Dickson Mutiso, Chairman, Masinga Dam Community Forest Association I am new and not a member. I have a CFA and I learnt about TIST in newspapers. I come from Masinga dam, along Tana River. I like what TIST is doing and I would like it expanded in my area. Margaret Silas Member, Institute for Culture and Ecology ; CFA member, Lower Imenti forest My mother introduced me to TIST. She supports it and I also came to like it. We get payments and besides we get wood fuel, CF and Compost manure. These double yields from traditional planting practices.TIST has helped improve our livelihood. Clean cooking stoves (jiko poa) – help save time and free of smoke – good health Esther Kamenwa,TIST Farmer With time, TIST has gained the confidence and trust of farmers as farmers plant more trees and get paid for their trees. We are able to better utilize our small lands. Monthly cluster meetings benefit people with various training on topics such as planting of drought resistant crops. Joshua Kimaita, Church Minister, Methodist Church, Meru I love TIST because when I attend Cluster meetings, I get a lot of motivation and encouragement. I have planted more tress in my shamba. We prune our trees for wood fuel. We have increased soil fertility, and helped revive planting of indigenous and high value trees as Cordia africana. We have been trained on CF and this has increased our crop production. I have learned leadership skills. We have learned about banana growing for small scale farmers. We are trained about clean cooking stoves. I intend to buy one soon. My community is encouraged and passionate about TIST. There is hope for long term benefits in carbon business. I am now passionate about TIST because of what TIST has done and continues to do. Joseph Kiogora,TIST Quantifier I joined TIST in 2006. I support TIST because it has helped build my leadership skills.This has helped me serve my community in various areas. I am now a courageous leader. I got employment in TIST collecting data as a Quantifier. This helped me support my family financially. I learned computer technology through TIST. I am happy that I am computer literate now through TIST, and received these skills at no monetary cost at all. I have learned more about trees – I now appreciate indigenous trees through training. We now plant indigenous trees in plenty. I have benefited from a TIST energy saving jiko. This has helped me save on wood fuel and also enabled to keep my trees alive. Through TIST, I have interacted with peoples of different diverse background and this has brought understanding and tolerance of other communities Help wanted contact persons: Susan Kinanu - 0711 - 721 219 Purity Mugo - 0724 - 119 815 Mary Kathei - 0726 - 283 425 ENGLISH VERSION 4 USAID, a key partner in TIST has agreed to support TIST farmers in growing of indigenous trees. While indigenous trees do not have any more value for carbon than any other tree, planting and protecting indigenous species is crucial to the natural wealth, resilience, and health of our farms and forests.
USAID support enabled us to develop the incentive for planting indigenous trees in riparian areas. Groups have already qualified for this incentive through their good work, and will receive this additional money in the next payments. With lessons we have learned from this pilot, we are working to develop a new incentive to encourage even more farmers to plant indigenous tree species and to see the benefits of these trees on their own farms. USAID offers more support to TIST indigenous tree planting program. It is important to note that this incentive is available because of support from USAID. Unlike the tree payments, which are funded through carbon sales and so will last for at least 30 years, the incentive for indigenous trees is shorter-term, and dependent on outside funding. Currently, we have funding for the additional indigenous tree incentive through 2013. We will work to try to secure additional funding so that we may be able to extend the incentive for a longer time. Try planting indigenous trees today! Look to the diverse forests around you, and ask your neighbors and others in your cluster about indigenous species that grow well near you. Acacias, Podocarpus, waterberry, Prunus, Cordia africana, figs and hundreds more species all provide great benefits to those who plant them. TIST Farmers are in the Carbon business. They get their payments for each live tree from the eventual sale of carbon credits or offsets. The only way that carbon can be sold is to have accurate, complete, and up-to-date Quantifications. All of us need to help the Quantifier get their job done very well! Recent organizational improvements in TIST now require one Quantifier to quantify in 2-4 nearby Clusters. This helps reduce time loss during travels and as well high travel costs previously incurred as quantifiers traversed in multiple, far distance Clusters. As soon as new people are trained, your Quantifier will come from one of the Clusters nearby. At the beginning of their work, the Quantifier is not familiar with the Small Group members, and where their tree groves are located. Your Cluster doesn’t want them to take a lot of time ‘looking for the members’. Your Cluster Leaders should organize to have one of your members (preferably one of the Cluster Leaders), who knows where the Small Groups are, accompany the Quantifier and help them quickly and accurately Quantify the Small Groups in your Cluster. Another challenge is where a quantifier feels insecure walking around the groves that have overgrown trees. You want them to be safe and secure in your Cluster! Quantifiers are not supposed to work in areas if they feel unsafe. So, have the Cluster Leaders organize the Quantification so that the Quantifier is always Support your Quantifiers! accompanied and their safety is assured. Therefore, Cluster Leaders, in your next Cluster meeting, please discuss how your Cluster will be supporting the Quantifiers during quantification. You may decide which areas/ villages will be quantified in a certain period and the person(s) to accompany your quantifier. Then be good servants to each other – serve the Quantifier so that they can serve you. Some Clusters have already been doing a very good job of supporting quantifiers. We have had good reports from: 1. Kirua ( Mary Mathani) 2. Maritati (Nicholas Kirimi) 3. Salama ( Rosemary Mwago) 4. Pondo (Agnes Wambui) 5. Raicheri Podo (Julius Waweru) 6. Runyenye (Bernard Kinyua) 7. Thiira (Mbaabu) 8. Kiegoi (Prisila Mukethi) 9. Kawiru MCK ( Elizabeth Nkio) 10. Antubochio (Milicent Wambogo ) 11. Silimon ( Stephen Kirinya) If you Cluster has been supporting Quantifiers and it is not mentioned here, please contact Emelda Kigetu 0727 992040 and we will publish in the next edition of Mazingira Bora newsletter. When your Cluster completes its plan to support the quantifiers, please also contact Emelda and give details. Remember: GOOD QUANTIFICATIONS = GOOD TONNES = GOOD PAYMENTS! ENGLISH VERSION 5 This letter is to thank you for your hard work and dedication to TIST. As you know, TIST was formed to help improve the environment by planting trees and to use the carbon stored in the trees as a new source of income for the participating farmers. Turning carbon into income is a challenge and developing a project that involves over 50,000 farmers is exceedingly difficult.
However, we at TIST always believed it could be done, but we needed the proper tools. The TIST monitoring system was part of the answer, but equipment and computer programs don’t mean a thing, without people with the skill to use them. As a TIST Quantifier, you have been responsible for collecting the data required by the international carbon market. It has required countless days of travel, learning to use the palm computers and GPS, taking accurate tracks, identification of over 100 species of tress and getting accurate counts. All this came together this past year, as we submitted our first project documents under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCB). Only those TIST groves that met the full requirements Open letter to TIST- Kenya Quantifiers – gratitude for successful validation and verification. By Charles E.Williams, CAAC Vice President of these standards were included. I am pleased to say that some of your groves made it through the intense quality assurance and quality control process. When the Validator/Verifiers showed up last December, to conduct their field audit, they finally “got” what TIST was about. Instead of looking at traditional forests, they were seeing new trees scattered across a shamba. They were not ready for this, so they had to abandon their traditional forestry tools and approaches and come up with another way to verify our groves. When they said they were going to select a single species and year strata and just count those trees, I was very concerned. This was going to put the skills and accuracy of our Quantifiers to the supreme test! But you and your teammates pulled it off. Without any forewarning, you were able to run through the groves, find the right trees and demonstrate the high level of accuracy required of the TIST values. As a result, in May of this year, we became the first project in the WORLD to receive dual certification under VCS and CCB. You have my heartfelt thanks. Congratulations! The Kenya shilling has become weak against major world currencies. In many instances, cost of goods and services has gone up. TIST is responding by adjusting the tree incentive payments to reflect the current exchange rate. TIST pays 2 US cents ($0.02) per each live, Quantified tree every year. In 2005, when TIST started, the Kenya shilling then was exchanged at the rate of Ksh 75.00 per US dollar. As such, at that exchange rate, tree payments of 2 US cents came to Ksh 1.50 cts. Today, the exchange rate is between Ksh 88 – 92 per US dollar. TIST is taking the average, at Ksh TIST responds to weak shilling against the United States of America (US) dollar – tree payment adjusted. 90 per US Dollar. Therefore, tree payments will be adjusted from Ksh 1.50 to Ksh 1.80. Please note, exchange rates vary from time to time. When the exchange rate changes in the future, TIST will respond in the same way. Remember, to earn the most benefits, it is important to continue planting more trees. The more trees you plant and keep alive, with recommended spacing of 2m and above, the more money you will earn, and the bigger your benefits from other tree products and services. ENGLISH VERSION 6 In TIST, we plant trees to take part in carbon offset market and earn income from carbon offset sales. However, the other benefits of trees are enormous! Here are just a few benefits we (and the rest of the world) enjoy:
• Trees serve as a natural habitat, which provides support to a wide variety of flora and fauna. They provide a sense of privacy and security to the wildlife, seeking shelter in the woods, apart from providing them with food and nutrients.
• Planting trees is very important to improve the quality of air and reduce its pollution. Trees remove excess carbon dioxide and air pollutants including sulfur dioxide, ozone and nitrogen oxide. In return, they give us oxygen required for living life.
• Planting trees help enrich biodiversity.
• The visual quality of a landscape is improved by planting trees, which, in turn, improves the quality of life. The greenery of trees adds color to the landscape and enhances the picturesque beauty of the environment.
• Trees control the climate by moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. They can help TIST: Environmental Benefits of Planting Trees. prevent severe floods, landslides, and wind damage.
• Trees reduce soil erosion, because they bind the soil through their roots, which would otherwise have been washed away in rainstorms and flood. Trees also help improve the fertility of soil. Rich soil transfers nutrients to food, which contributes to human health.
• Trees are great absorbers of noise. Noise pollution can be reduced, to a great extent, by planting more and more trees.
• Planting of trees facilitates better management of flood water. Trees also moderate flood hazards, by allowing the rainwater to percolate into the soil, instead of running over it.
• The demand for clean drinking water can be met by planting indigenous trees. Forests and plant cover naturally slow the runoff of rainwater, thereby filtering it. Once slowed, rainwater seeps down to refill underground storage tanks or aquifers.Also, they prevent water from mixing with the salt water of oceans. This is of immense help, as salty water takes much longer to re-enter the fresh water portion of the hydrological cycle. Who is TIST? We are! We are diverse, with more than 100 clusters around Mt. Kenya, in Mbeere, in Mara and in Mau. As we continue to grow, we want to make sure that our many different voices and ideas are heard. When women and men, old and young, from many places share their ideas, we can make TIST better and better to serve all TIST Kenya farmers. Now is the time for you to be talking in your clusters to choose who can best share your voices as a representative to the Group of Clusters. A Group of Clusters is 2 to 4 clusters close enough to be able to share equipment and training capabilities. By November 15th, each Group of Clusters will elect representatives to a GOC Council.These representatives will not be cluster leaders, nor Quantifiers, nor auditors. Rather, they are elected representatives who will serve a sixmonth period. Each cluster will elect one man and one woman, and the 4 to 8 representatives will meet monthly. Make your voice heard, and help make TIST better! Now is time to prepare for elections for council representatives. Later, each GOC Council will elect one man and one woman from different clusters to represent their geographic area at the Regional Council. Regional Councils will have between 6 and 24 members depending on how many clusters and Groups of Clusters are in the Region. The Regional Councils will meet one time per month. Each of the Regional Councils will elect one man and one woman to serve on the Leadership Council.The LC will meet monthly with the “representative members”.
This structure is an important step to selfgovernance, so that TIST Program issues that are raised at a cluster meeting can be carried through the chain of Councils quickly. At each step, issues can be discussed and recommendations made. To be our best, we need our best volunteers. Discuss in your clusters who you would like to serve as your Group of Clusters Council representatives. It’s a great chance to learn and to make a difference for your cluster and all of TIST.

Undu mwisi, TIST yaseuviw’e kwailya mawithyululuko kwa kuvanda miti na kutumia nzeve thuku/itavisaa ila yiawa ni miti ta nzia imwe ya kukwata vaita kwa aimi ala meukwata mbau undu uu. Kuvindua nzeve ino na kumitwikithya vaita ni itatwa yi vinya tondu yina aimi mbee wa 50,000, na niundu wi vinya muno. Onavala ithyi thini wa TIST tuikiiaa novatonyeke, lakini twienda miio ila yaile. Usyaaisya thini wa TIST wai muio umwe, una vala walany’o wa computer ndwina utethyo vate andu mena utuika wa kuitumia. Ta muvitukithya/muthiani/muthuimi wa TIST, wina muio wa kwosania uvoo ula wendekaa ni ndunyu ya uta nzeve thuku/itavisaa nthi yothe (International carbon Market).Unduu uu ni wendaa mithenya mingi na ndambuka, kumanyiw’a kutumia palm computers na GPS, kuatiia thuva vatekuvitya, kuvathukania mithemba ya miti mbee wa 100 na kwosa utalo waw’o. Aa oothe nimookie vamwe mwakani muthelu, tuinengane mavalua maitu kuikiithw’a na kuvitukithw’a ungu wa “Verified Carbon Standard” VCS na “Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard” Ccb. No ala mai na wianiu wa kila kyendekaa thini wa mititu ya TIST watalikie. Ninotanu kwasya ikundi imwe syenyu nisya vitie “wianiu wa useo na syai na usuu wa useo” (quality assurance and quality control). Yila mwitikilithya wookie mwai wa sikukuu (December), kwika ukunikili wa kithekani, nimavikiie ukwa TIST ni iulu wa kyau. Vandu va kwona mititu ya tene moonie miti myeu inyaiikite muundani. Undu uyu mayeekwatasya kuwona, kwoou weethia nomatiie nzia ila matumiiaa kwitikilya/kuvitukithya mititu matumie nzia ingi kwa aimi ma TIST.
Yila maisye me tala miti ya muthemba muna nimandanisye nundu ninamanyie kana undu uu nuuthi kwikia athuimi/athiani maitu itatwani ya undu utali wa w’o na utuika woo. Nitwatanie yila mwaendie na mweeka uu vatena kwiw’a uito na kwa wianiu navate kuvitya kwianana na undu ngwatanio ya TIST yendaa na mwatwony’a kwac’o ni mutonya. Kwa kitumi kiu mwaka uyu tweethiwa twi mambee nthi yothe kwa undu tauu kukwata mavalua ungu wa VCS na CCB. Osai ndaia kuma ngooni yakwa. Nina mukathiia/ ningatho. Silingi ya Kenya niyithiie yinthi kwa vata wasianisya na mbesa sya nthi ila ingi. Na kwauu thooa wa syindu mbingi wi iulu. TIST ni ithinikie undu uu kwa kwongela ndivi ya uthuthio kwonana kithimo kya ukuania wa mbesa.TIST ni yiivaa sendi ili sya muingo (2cents US/ $0.02) kwa kila muti muvitukithye kila mwaka. Mwakani wa 2005 yila TIST yambiie Kenya, silingi 75.00 sya Kenya nisya kuanaw’a na ndola imwe (USD). Ivinda yiu sendi 2 sya Dollar syookaa ta silingi na sumuni wa kenya (Ksh 1.50/=). Umunthi ukuania wi katikati wa silingi 88-99 kwa ndola imwe (ISD). TIST niyosete ndola kwa silingi 90 kwa ndola imwe (USD) kwoou, ndivi nikukwambatw’a kuma Ksh 1.50 kuthi Ksh.1.80. Kwandaia manya kana ndola kana kukuany’a kwa mbesa kwina kivathukany’o kuma ivinda kuthi yingi.Yila kukuany’a mbesa kuueendeea kwithiwa na kivathukany’o kingi manya kana now’o TIST inikwika. Lilkana kukwata vaita munene mbee no kuendeea na uvanda miti. Oundu wina miti mingi yi thau na utaaniu mwailu wa matambya elei now’o uendee na ukwata mbesa, na now’o vaita waku kuma mitini wiana. Valua muvingue kwa athuimi / athiani / avitukithya ma TIST Kenya utanu wa kwiania kunewa ukumu na kuikiithw’a. Mwandiki ni E.Williams, CAAC Vice President Undu TIST yikite nundu wa kutheea kwa vata / thamani wa silingi wa sianiw’a na ndola (USD) - thini wa ndivi ya miti. KIKAMBA VERSION 6 Nthini wa TIST nituvandaa miti kwosa kilio kana kukwata thini wa ndunyu/soko ya utandithya wa nzeve thuku/itavisaa na kukwata vaita twata nzeve ino. Onavala, vaita ila ingi sya miti ni mbingi! Vaa ve imwe kati wa vaita ila tutaniaa kuma mitini:-
• Miti ni musyi woombiwe uu na nunenganae utethyo kwa metho, muuo/ukumbau kwa nyamu sya kithekani, ila imathaa liu thini wa itheka na miti.
• Kivanda kwa miti nikuseuvasya nzeve na kuola uthokoania wayo. Miti niyosaa nzeve thuku na kutunenge nzeve nzeo ila tutumiaa kuveva, na yi thayu.
• Kuvanda miti nikutetheeasya kunosya mwikalo / kithio.
• Miti ya vandwa nitumaa Nthi yoneka yina wailu na kwoneka yina thayu wi muyo. Miti niyongelaa langi kwa nthi na mawithyululuko kwoneka me manake.
• Miti nivinduaa/niialyulaa nzeve na ivinda ta sua, nzeve, na mbua. Miti nisiiaa kutiuuka kwa muthanga na wanangiko ula uetawe ni kiuutani.
• Miti nisiiiaa kutwawa kwa muthanga ni kiw’u nikwithiwa mii yayo nikwatanasya muthanga. Miti ninoasya muthanga, ula wavamdwa miti ya uya/liu unengae mundu unou usu.
• Miti niyusaa kineene kwoou iyiola kuthokoanw’a kwa nzeve ni kineene.
• Miti ya kiene/kikamba ya vandwa nguumoni niseuvasya kiw’u kya unywa na ukethia kiung’ala.
Mititu nisiiiaa kiw’u kusemba na kwoou kiilika nanthi ovala kitonya kwikala kana kikaseuviwa itangi na kutumika kwa maundu angi, na undu uu nusiiaa kiw’u kiikavulane na kya ukanga kila kimunyu. TIST nuu? twi ikundi mbee wa 100 ithyululukite Kiima kya Kenya (Mr. Kenya), twi Mbeere, Mara na Mau. Oundu tuendee na kwiana twienda kwona mawasya na mawendi/ mawoni maitu maingi mekivathukany’o nimeew’ika. Yila Aka, Aume, akuu na ma muika kuma isio syi kivathukany’o kuneenea umwe kwa ungi iulu wa mawendi/ mawoni moo notuseuvye TIST ikethiwa yi nzeo kwa aimi ma TIST ma Kenya. Yu ni ivinda inzeo ya kuneenania kila kikundi kwona nii meunyuva kuungama vandu voo nthini wa ngwatanio ya ikundi. Ikundi 2- 4 ila ithengeanie nitonya kutumiania miio na umanyisyo kwiyaka. Tuivika matuku 15/11/2011 kila kikundi kikasakua muungami umwe kumaunngamia nthini wa kasu wa GOC. Aungamii aya maikethiwa atongoi ma ikundi kana mena uvisi, lakini makeethiwa amemba asakue ala makathukuma myai thathtu. Kila kikundi kikasakua mundu ume umwe na mundu muka umwe na andu aya me kati wa 4-8 makakoanaa kila mwei. Itina, kila kasu ikasakuaa mundu muume na mundu muka kuma kakundi kivathukany’o kuungama vandu voo thini wa kisio. Kiso kii kya kasu kikeethiawa ki na ene katikati wa 6 na 24 kwianana na ikundi ila syi kisioni kiu. Kasu ya kisio ikakomanaa imwe kila mwai na kila kisio kya kasu kikaungamasya mundu muka na munduume kutongosya. Muvango uyu ni museo kwa kuete uteti wa kiene, nikana TIST yithiwe itonya ukwata mavunguku ala maumila kuma tukundini tunini nginya kisio na kumathinikia kwa mituki. Nthini wa kila itambya uvungulu kana undu ula waumila niuka neenaniaw’a na vanyumwa nzia kana usungio/woni. Twithiwe twi aseo mbee nonginya twithiwe na enyumya aseo. Neenany’ai ikundini syenyu mwone nuu mukwenda ethiwe e muungamii wenyu wa kikundi kasuni. Ni useo kwithiwa na ivuso na kumanya undu utonya kuete uvinduku kikundini na thini wa TIST kwa vamwe. TIST: Vaita wa kuvanda miti thini wa mawithyuluko. Neena wiw’ike na uitetheesya tist kwika nesa mbee! Yu ni ivinda ya kwiyumbanisya kusakua ateti ma isio.
