CHIEF MOHAMED JARI (CMJ) ACADEMY SUCCESS STORY
CS Adan Mohamed was the brainchild and founder of Chief Mohammed Jari Academy in 2005 when he was CEO of Barclays Bank, the school has students population of 1067, (437 girls and 630 boys) with a modern learning facilities and Infrastructure. The CS Adan Mohamed, he had been monitoring and supporting progress of School infrastructure, staffing, students and even motivations of the staff.
Through the effort of CS a borehole was drilled for CMJ primary school that was still well managed and maintained and solved the quest for water supply and availability to the entire populations of Kutulo Sub-County headquarter, health centre, both Chief Mohammed Jari primary & Secondary, Kutulo Girls Model Secondary school and Nomad livestock (animals) and other development infrastructure.
The Nomad Green environmental, wildlife and peace club is the most active club in the school. The NGBM boss engaged and shared with the students the success story of the kitchen and reafforestation undertaken by NGBM team in many part of Mandera county and beyond. This tree planting program is a learning opportunity, for kids to get involved in the environment and conservation of our natural resources. Therefore, NGBM boss introduced new system of School students using its park by introducing book camp system that accommodate over 100 students from lower and upper classes to socialise it enhances co-existence at the park during break, weekend, Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon after classes. The park is also learner child friendly, enhancing performance. Whenever one enters the compound one doesn't wish to leave the compound.
The Trees planted and introduction of School farm helps in agriculture's students learn some skills, preparing nursery beds, matching and it aids learning.
During NGBM Interview, the school principal Mr. Abdikadir Hassan said that as a routine when he reports to school early in the morning, he goes round all the Trees and ensure whether they're watered, or encroached by both human or animal destruction. He also said in his speech that he gave second priority to Greening school compound after education, as imparting knowledge to his students.
The head teacher revealed that his school children are well disciplined, dedicated and obedient at all times, the mature pupils know what to do and vice versa. These has attributed to very cooperatives staff and the deputy principal.
Mr. Principal left NGBM team with a heavy message which inspired NGBM team as his long dream and career ambition having considered the CS Adan Mohamed as his role model and professional from the area, in the yearly target of his school national examination that his students who sat for Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), under his management to produce 10-20 students like CS Mr. Mohamed who have transformed the lives of many Nomad children every year through personal initiatives, who will also act as a role models to the upcoming generations.
Having noted several insecurity incidents in the area, Mr. Principal promised to ensure teachers and pupils that he will be the last person to desert the school at whatever cost and give assuarance and promise that all is well. He explained that nothing will interfere with their learning activitiy.
His networking with the parents of individual students on their academic progress and guidance and counselling are exemplary.
The school principal Mr. Abdikadir thanked his entire school staff, board of management, subordinates, and founder of Chief Mohamed Jari Academy CS Mr. Adan Mohamed of current Industrialisation ministry for tireless support to ensure that the school is habitable both during pre- and post insecurity insurgent which targets non-locals to make the school a center of academic excellent, with attractive conducive environment attracting school visitors to leave with a memorable positive perception.

CHIEF MOHAMED JARI ACADEMY
On behalf of Nomad Green Belt Movement volunteers team, I championed the school boys and girls at Chief Mohammed Jari Academy at Kutulo Sub-County on planting Trees, interactive session with children and the school Principal Mr. Abdikadir Hassan Adaw. We got the opportunity to speak to the school community by delivering a motivational talk to the entire students.
It's great achievement and fulfilment to be part of nurturing, instilling or inculcating good values and being a role model to school going children. We feel enlightened to be associated with such inspiration as NGBM. Young school children were motivated adequately to plant Trees not only in their school compound but also at their respective household.
The School Tree Planting projects connected students to the benefits of Trees and foster environmental stewardship. Tree planting is a great way to increase student interest in their local environment and achieve academic goals and excellent.
NGBM volunteer chairman, with the Conservation Action Team has pledged to introduce a wide range of biodiversity and environmental projects at the beginning of next term. This is expected to inspire and make a difference in their school and within their community.
The students were excited engaged and encouraged by the NGBM visit to their school. We believe and envisaged a great transformation as we walk together into the future.
The Book Camp event was the first of its kind and hugely successful at CMJ primary Academy. The school Green park runs from Sunday to Saturday, jammed packed with all kinds of activities creating awesome memories and friends for life among student at school to exchange learning ideas.
Students returned hospitality when they entertained NGBM team and finally they attracted NGBM chairman to join them in rob jumping game. We're so pleased that we’ve been able to reciprocate with a lovely welcome at CMJ primary Academy.
We want to offer our sincere gratitude to the school management who are dedication and commitment to our students and schools during these hardship of time.

BIRTHDAY GIFT
The School management presented a gift of goat kid to Nomad Green Belt Movement volunteers team during Tree planting on 2016 Birthday occasion.
SUCCESS STORY OF KUTULO GIRL'S MODEL SECONDARY SCHOOL
The school was established February 2014, being the only boarding girls Secondary School in the entire Kutulo Sub-County, with a population of 40 girls and one teacher is an environmental Champion.
Currently the school is host to a population of about eighty (80) girls with three (3) T.S.C teachers. The two teachers fled due to insecurity last year 2015, after Garissa college and many terror incidents within Mandera and other counties.
With the effort of School principal Mr. Hassan Salat Mohammed who saved girls from Mandera County during Inter-clan clashes at Kutulo Girls Secondary who was then a Deputy Principal at the school, employed five locally recruited B.O.G teachers in replacement for the two non-locals who fled. Unfortunately, again two locals fled once again after the terrorist attack of security personnel vehicle 10 Km away from there school. Currently he's the only T.S.C teacher.
At the inception of the school, the institutions lacked water, fence, kitchen, laboratory and other facilities to mention but a few.
In the year, early 2015, Nomad Green Belt Movement (NGBM) volunteers team donated 20 seedlings to the school, in spite of the lack of water supply, and fence to keep away livestock from grazing around the school. The school management took the courage to plant and maintain the twenty (20) Trees.
With school Principal efforts water was ferried from the main source which was about 2km using donkey cart, bodaboda, Tuk-tuk and at times water boozers to the school.The CS Adan Mohamed during Mandera County tour visited the school, and promised to assuage the burden of water unavailability hence drilled borehole recently.
The twenty Trees each were assigned to students who are members of Nomad Green Environmental, Wildlife and Peace club, to maintain it. The principal inspired the students by rewarding the best and well maintained Trees during the school closing ceremonies in presence of parents and members of School board.
Major challenges included stray animals encroaching on school fence attempts eat up the young Trees were thwarted away when the Security guards/Watchman was assigned since no proper perimeter fence were erected. Currently the school enjoys a serene secure environment as a result of proper fencing.
Agriculture being one of the subjects taught in the school, NGBM formed Nomad Green Young farmers club which earmarked a site for school farm and kitchen garden.
The Nomad Green Belt Movement rewarded the school effort by donating seventy two (72) more seedlings. This motivated the girls hence promising the founder of NGBM Mr. Abdikalif that they will put more effort by planting another 2,000 more Trees and requested for provision of adequate Skills,tools/ equipment and training of twenty (20) young Nomad Green environmental, wildlife and peace ambassadors.
The girls boldly asserted their undying commitment to keepinh the school compound green.They acquired a change of altitude to disseminate the idea of afforestation to the rest of the community or household members within and outside thwie localities as they're about to break for August Holiday.
The girls were inspired to participate in an ongoing Essay Competition in both Coastal and Northern region. Ten girls volunteered to submit their essays on various topics on environment, wildlife and peace.
The school principal Mr. Hassan requested NGBM Executive Director, the beginning of next term to plant more tall Trees along the school fence to act as wind breakers and fence.
The Nomad Green Young farmers club pledged to initiate a horticultural garden which they will use to generate income in future and supplement the nutrition in this region, which is depended on as far places like Isiolo, Nairobi and Garissa County for vegetables.
The Agriculture teacher Mr. Saddam Adan, who is also the patron of Nomad Green environmental, wildlife and peace club took his time and effort to impart Agricultural knowledge on planting and maintaince of Trees in the school.
Finally the entire schools teaching and non-teaching fraternity were fully motivated to participate in the programme initiated by Nomad Green Belt Movement.
We offer special gratitude to the students, teachers, subordinate and school principal Mr. Salat for the warm reception and good networking that we kept for longtime.
