NGBM Objectives are diverse though they all entail about environment and conservancy.
I wish to share and highlight on one of our specific objectives of our project that addresses environmentally friendly priority area:
TREE NURSERY TRAINING:
Giving someone the rationale behind a task or project gives the individual more buy-in.They are more likely to carry out tasks,and care for its success when they understand the "how" and 'why' behind the "What".This is the approach we take with facing the issue of deforestation.
The first step in this approach is to educate the communities living in rural village/centres on the implications of removing trees.Once they have an understanding of why trees are important,they need a solution to repairing the damage already done.
REPLANTING TREES
We teach school children to prepare seedbeds,collect seeds from indigenious trees,plant,water and protect the seedlings.We have found that they truly care for the plants more than if we were to give them seedlings and tell them to plant it,or if we plant them ourselves.
We will continue this approach in different areas whenever possible to do our part to help to counteract deforestation in our county.
NGBM's volunteer work is meant to ensure sustainable livelihoods for youths,communities,the environment and for coming generations.
We have to plant trees.
Green symbolizes life.
Thank you for your contributions.
