GARISSA COUNTY NOMAD GREEN BELT MOVEMENT FRATERNITY CHAPTER, COMMEMORATES #MULTIPLE BIRTHDAY 2017!

THE STORY BEHIND THE DREAM & PASSION:~"A value shift is triggered by a new short documentary of how we advocated for environment, wildlife and peace in simple, powerful, and true. I thought I would open up new chapter again as I'm making use of my unique creativity and talent, in making sure 30% of NGBM revolution will be digitized from now on.

I have watched, listened and acknowledged all the good tidings #Garissa team had prepared and accomplished. Yes, our plan was very realistic and attainable but for us too it has to be pursued or acquired by a dint of hard work, dedication, discipline and faith in the words of Allah (SW), It can't come by merely saying or wishing it to ourselves.

Congratulation are in order for NGBM Garissa boss, community, volunteers team and the institutions who had graciously and generously offered to host #Multiple birthday. The #NGBM team is dedicated to working constructively with all stakeholders to address all matters and minimize impacts. We have acknowledged "a high level of students, experts and public participation" during the event.

I'm extremely proud and excited to announce that my wonderful, compassionate and truly inspirational NGBM Garissa County Coordinator Hon. Abdikani Ibrahim, who was very kind, allowed us the great success under his leadership from Garissa County fraternity. Thank you for accepting this very significant task of spearheaded it.

I am utterly speechless by their grace and humility, the pleasure and privilege is all mine as NGBM Founding President and CEO. Mr. Abdikalif Adan. I can't believe the unfolding of this divinely guided journey.

Special thanks goes to the officer Mr. Mohamed Askar, our production team boss for his endless support, guidance and encouragement. He was an absolute leader, I appreciate for his sincerity and dedication. It was an exceptional experience, and a great eye opener and an honor to bring #Multiple Birthday to the screen. I look forward to working with you on the ground.

I promise to share other Counties #Multiple Birthday short documentaries once it's finalized. The documentary is responsible for effecting real, positive change in #Garissa County and it's my pleasure and honour making to be able to help, make it more popular or ensure it's widely visible, so that it will inspires and greatly change the environment around you. I'll update you right here, as our we unfold out plans and development. I look forward so much to seeing many of you there, InshAllah.

I have decided to share out my combined knowledge and experience with the new generation of aspiring young ambassadors. In future, I'm looking forward to rallying behind the influential Kenyan folks, to participate fully and support our mission. I understand well that such movement like NGBM inspires, and reaching far wide around the world.

In summary, my deepest gratitude goes to selfless volunteers. This was a great initiative, excellent work, keep this momentum, very soon hoping more conservation and peace work up ahead. We'll continue to launch more events and other opportunities to bring the initiatives where you live. Indeed, we are better together than we are apart. We should do more of these we have such amazing initiatives and stories tell. All the best team, well done!

Happy International Women's Day!

Mama Halima Mohamed Jari

For, every good reason many of my friends eyes are wet while writing beautiful stories about my #Mother. Many of my friends proves how humane they are, by appreciating her efforts they earn themself a place in her heart.

Like a strong building needs  a strong pillar you always need someone to support you; I have never known a stronger pillar than my #Mother. Whenever the cloud of stress loomed, whenever the shadow of sadness waved, whenever tears reached my eyelids, whenever my lonely heart was worried my Mum has never hesitated to ask, what is not right, she is what keeps me living, she adds sweetness to my life and she always makes me fall in love with life. Everyone has a little bit of sorrow, everyone has a little bit of sunshine my Mum would always shield me from any kind of sorrow and would always smilingly watch the ray hope beaming on my face. She is a symbol if sacrifice!

She is the only woman who believes in a peace, healthy environment and committed in Greening Mandera county and by extension the whole world. She is the backbone of Nomad Green Belt movement.

Mama Halima is part of women for peace, she religiously believes in peaceful coexistence between communities in Mandera county. She is independent thinker who always finds times to visit girls schools to give motivational talks and advice young girls so that will grow up to become respectable young women.
Mama Halima is a God gift human to humanity! We celebrate her!

May Allah bless her!
#Africa4Her.

NORTHERN KENYA DEVELOPMENT TOUR PART III

I have concluded Northern Kenya Tour and have reached Nairobi safely and The #Northern Kenya Development Tour Part III is worthy.

There is no word to describe the passion to play small, in a settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. Believe me, as a selfless professional volunteer. After visiting five Counties in Northern region; Isiolo, Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir and Garissa, I witnessed and saw the quantity of work needed through our ongoing movement. I shed light on the concerns I heard from local residents regarding the pre-post independent injustice and a lot need to be done. Every county and our nation "Kenya" must relieve the past and redirect all its energies into forging a more hopeful future.

There are enormous pressing issues at the moment. We must rise and intervene through dedication, commitment and love for humanity to get into action, to serve humanity and make a difference. To achieve the same, we sustain oneself for the life-long calling, which requires that we care for our vulnerable societies deeply, richly and wisely.

Thanks to those who make the #Northern Kenya Development Tour part III so beautiful, creative, thoughtful and memorable!

NEW YEAR 2017

Happy New Year - The year #2016 was an incredible year for groundbreaking, inspirational research work and made it successful on peace, environment and wildlife conservation.

We want to say thank you to everyone who has supported NGBM programmes in 2016.

NGBM PLAN TO PLANT 15 MILLION TREES IN 2016

This year NGBM volunteer team target is to plant 15 Million trees. The Trees that can unite people all over the Northern Kenya region a build ambassadors a gardener and desert forest creater. Plant a fruit trees in your plot, encouraged, motivates your friends, neighbours, family and friends to practice and share the harvest with both 80 peoples of friend and family. 

Let us preserve our culture and hold to its beauty to unite us together and refrain from tribal clashes that always causes environmental destruction when two clans are at war. Instead of putting together all our energy and efforts towards tribal clashes let's unite, create great lovely neighbourhood, green our desert region and fight climate change.

Develop dry land forest, plant a fruit tree, share the ideas, teamwork and share the harvest. Together, we can inspire the planting of millions of trees that feed our communities around the globe. Let's make this year count! 

NGBM plan and goal is to give any households, individual and group/ organisations seeds, let them grow their food and then let them have it. Thanks everyone! There's no better food than the ones we grow ourselves 

A food forest mimics how a wild forest works, but swaps in species that are edible or otherwise useful to humans and other animals. Imagine if each community park hosted a mini food forest!

Let's create a new normal where our communities are lined in gardens and fruit trees providing an abundance for all. Plant a front yard garden and start making ripples on your block!

Let's create a new normal where our communities are lined in kitchen gardens and fruit trees providing an abundance for  Nature never ceases to amaze us. Let's take care of each other and this beautiful planet we share. Thank you for all that you do and all that you are!

We are thinking of organising tree planting contest. Which we will set a date and do everything online. If all members in this forum can share idea on how we will do that competition.

Join the team  and plant a tree whenever you're and share the pictures please.

THE 9th WONDERS OF THE WORLD

MAGNIFICENT MIGRATORY BIRDS
The white city turned out to be the biggest place for the beautiful endangered migratory birds from where the migrated is yet to established. The migratory birds that travelled millions of kilometers to spend the winter in Africa, particularly Kenya with fewer places to land, threatening their health as they crowd in on one place to seek water, shelter and food.

At the heart of Mandera county, a stopover to millions of birds where El-wak town now provides critical habitats to more than 5 million birds. Mandera South headquarter turned out to be a popular destination for birdwatchers and conservationist. Hundreds of thousands of migrating birds come together to make the most magnificent formations and bird watchers "flock" to specific water points to take it all in while the NGBM collectively and harmoniously trying to witnessed the scenario. The birds migration patterns are changing every single day. This is a great animation of the power of migration.

One can't stand watching as passing near where they're drinking water, but the way they fly together is amazing and beautiful. It looks like they are moving to the sound of music.

The majority of the residents turned out to be a domestic tourist as a birdwatcher and taking photos at many different venues. For those birders among them, it's a spectacular view of a rare event only few old people ignore this and go on with their lives as normal.

Northern Kenya drought is having a huge impact on the birds that spend winter. NGBM team volunteered to help by keeping safety guards and promise to deliver clean water to refugee birds.

We have not had any rain of significance for a long time while the indigenous Trees are taking strain. The birds were exhausted and in desperate need of rest after flying for untold hours and miles on their journey from grounds.

Birds to be off on a hunt by both domestic and wild cat. Thousands of birds in El-wak are victims of it's circumstances, which is very sad. The cat went crazy with the bird coming on the pond, drinking and birthing. No one is protecting migrating birds as others are killing for no reason other than to allow sad, children to use stone to kill birds for leisure by using one stone to kill many birds, such kill is stupidity of highest standards.

Northern Kenya drought is having a huge impact on the birds that spend winter. The effects of drought and water diversions on migratory birds and other influences act as part of natural selection and migrating birds are feeling the real impact.

The migratory song birds face such harsh hurdles to survival and then they pile on obvious human impacts like drought, pesticides, deforestation and climate change.

Thousands of birds fly and seat on a tree that finally led to falling of indigenous trees, currently many trees are affected. This could have a significant impact on ecosystems everywhere along their migratory route.

As some residents suggested at mosque where Muslim meet, performing Congregational prayers. According to worshippers the migratory birds are not native and are found season in a decades but it's environmental impact is unbearable, from destroying grass, kitchen gardens, shrub tress and later the local residence suggested that it should either be shoo away during the night or eliminated from the area, this is an atrocity. But thanks to NGBM team after hearing it we make sure we started no single birds should be interfered in their new habitat.

NGBM team volunteered to help by keeping safety guards and promise to deliver clean water to refugee birds.

So graceful and amazing, you'll see the birds? Millions of birds migrating and flying in the sky, the drought hasn't ended.

NGBM team find new and exciting ways to engage the public as to provide water, protection and any negative impact on migratory bird habitats. In future NGBM as conservationist groups will prepare 2,000 acres of protected land and temporarily flooding them, for migratory birds traveling along the Northern region.

As conservationist, the lessons we learn from birds could help improve the design of long-distance automatous gliders and searching for water, grass and shelter over long distance.

KITCHEN GARDEN & MODERN FARMING

Nomad Green Belt Movement embarked on demonstration, mobilization and engagement on a campaign to empower rural-urban vulnerable households by giving them the right tools and knowledge, or skills to make a modern kitchen garden in respective homes for the community food basket to variable improve to produce their own food accessible throughout the year.

The NGBM project’s overall goal is to turns unused lawns in homestead into kitchen garden by bringing sustainable home garden to vulnerable people in need to plant fruit trees to fight hunger, poverty, climate change, rural migration and  contribute to reduce the food insecurity afflicting drought stricken communities of Northern Kenya as well as boost their economic stimulus through formation of kitchen gardens and linkages to markets.

For more inspiration, innovation and a positive environmental socio-economic empowerment with awesome professional volunteer expertise invite NGBM team to establish modern kitchen garden in your homes and be friends of environment and wildlife conservation.

Join NGBM by committing to do your part, to preserve, protect and champion our natural resources to sustain and development of present vs future generations to come.

Let's show concern and responsibly restore sanity in our environment.

If we don't pick it up, our litter can last longer than our lifetime. The task starts with me and you, can all volunteers donate five (5)minutes for clean up exercise to get rid of rubbish and tidy the environment.

Northern Kenya has some of the most beautiful wild animals ever seen. But unfortunately, we're losing wildlife species at an alarming rate. It is unacceptable for the government to turn a blind eye and ignore the concerns.

All creatures big or small deserve a place they can call home  safely in. We should create better environment for wildlife roaming around our planet. We should ponder on ways of making it conducivefor them.

With the expansion of rural-urban settlement, humans so cruelty keep building and taking the wildlife habitats away, soon the animals will have nowhere to go. Wildlife is facing several serious challenges, including increased pressures around and inside the habitats boundaries due to development that threatens to isolate the habitats and block important migratory routes, adapting to nomadic pastorolists movement and enable to avoid humans in their habitats. In the long-run, this could have severe impacts on wildlife population and the ecological wildlife habitats. Any action that could threaten the provision of conducive and safe environment to this precious commodity should be severely restricted, stopped and mitigation to reduce negative impacts on wildlife should be designed and enforced.

Globally, many people are not aware of how we are treating the wildlife. If within short period we wouldn't realise any changes; NGBM team will lobby for local, national and international support for wildlife and environmental conservation.

We need to use our common sense at its finest. Now we just need to break down barriers which are preventing the existing solutions to be exploited and implemented .

Please join the discussion to protect our wildlife, they are innocent, they depend on us.
