The other night a whole bunch of us went to a local village and showed an anti-poaching video in the evening to raise conservation awareness. This was an interesting night because the movie was in swahili so when all the people laughed at the funny parts I had no idea what was going on. Also all the little kids loved shaking my hand and asking my name.

The next day all the volunteers, staff, and other members of Soysambu Conservancy did a 5 km highway pollution clean up. This was so exhausting because the heat drained the energy right out of us. Although some school children assisted us and it made things go faster. The only thing I had against this clean up was that it was an attempt to be "greener" but after we collected all the garbage they just BURNED all the trash. Way to be green. After the clean up we all watched a movie on conservation with the school children, and yes I had to sit through the same film.

Today I went with Kat Combes (the conservancy CEO) and Duncan to an LANNECA Meeting which is a gathering (4 hours long) of all the wildlife officials to discuss merging the 3 main conservancy's into one wildlife containment. This was interest but very exhausting to listen to. For all those LIFE schoolers, just imagine old business during community, gone bad, times 10. With a whole lot of money and sociology issues. Then on our way back to the conservancy we stopped at the hot springs and felt the hot water of Lake Elementiata and saw some children fishing. Then as we drove back to the research center we found an impala skull, which i hope to bring home, and saw lots of animals.

ALthough it has been busy I have no idea what is coming up the next few days. Also here are some photos I owe you.
