What is life?

This four letter word brings confusion to many. Is it a gift, a fulfillment of God’s creation or a prove of his holy word? Some say life is living wealthy while others say it is a rough road full of challenges which leads one to achieve his or her own goals. But although life is defined in many ways, everyone is struggling to make his or her life more better in terms of wealth, academically, through technology, leadership, through business but still others get confused along the way and they give up not because they are tired but because they don’t know what to do next.

According to experts, LIFE is a gift from above,live it, enjoy it, fulfill it,

but remember fun is the beginning of the word funeral. God has a purpose for everyone’s life. We should therefore live and work according to God’s given purpose in our life to avoid stress, challenges, temptations and difficulties that we face in this dynamic world. Let us avoid being confused, giving up, thinking negative of ourselves, but think of what God needs in you and in your life and in that way you will understand what this four letter word means.

Many have denied this but I believe it’s a fact. Let’s take a practical example;In politics there are these two men, Raila and Ruto. These two men were once great friends; they rallied together,ate together and even shared their top secrets but the irony is that at the moment the two are like a cat and a rat and none knows what is going to be used for their comparison in the next moment as I believe a hyena and a sheep won’t much their comparison. It’s therefore true that, even though these two words are worlds apart, they practise the so-called
TURN-TAKING, that’s immediately one stops ,the other starts and the list does not end even after once death, that LOVE-HATE battle continues and it carries on to the next generation.
It’s out of this that TRIBALISM comes to birth. So my biggest worry is, which one between love and hate should we stop because they seam to be great friends who never leave the other
behind?
“ Adapted by Paul the Octopus”

After realization of these problem the government in-cooperation with international organizations forced eviction of resident out of the forest especially Mau Forest which is the main water catchment and water Tower serving East and Central Africa lakes and Rivers with their source draining from Mau Forest. through this, three million trees of different species have been planted at Olorkuto Side of the forest.

Mau Forest is the biggest forest in Kenya covering more than six district in Rift Valley but destruction have been done by burning charcoals, logging timber products for financial purposes making water scarce, animals dying in the lower parts like Mara after exposing the marine to the extreme sunlight after water level went down, the land bare, food prices are scratching the roof, temperatures are high, power is rationed… But every cloud has a silver lining:

Today after the government initiative, thing have become better as for today we are breathing fresh air because many new trees purifies the polluted environment, the vegetation is green; some thing which is rare at these months here where we normally receive short rain in December but for today throughout the year rain has been frequent which is abnormal, Our livestock have enough grass to feed also wildlife are easily found in the game hence a lot of attraction of tourist water is in plenty and all these has happen because of the little that has been done by government and the partners.

Fellow Kenyan, why not you dedicated to full time conservation for our own benefit?
