Mobile Education Unit
Category: Mobile Education Unit | Date: Apr 01 2008 | By: admin
Jambo! Our Mobile Education Unit has been on the move. Over 20,000 school children have benefited from the program in the month of February and March 2008, and we plan to reach more and more. As usual it involved intensive traveling to reach the schools; across the equator in laikipia, tranversing the elephant hideouts of Mt Kenya and Meru to the undulating hill slopes and savannas of Eastern Kenya bordering Tsavo East National Park.
It gets interesting everyday and we discover new activities with the children. The fun and educational films, talks on conservation and Wildlife club activities as well as educational materials issued makes the program a preference to both teachers and students. Possible solutions on rampant cases of human wildlife conflicts were discussed during the visits as well as ways of creating wildlife habitats.
Public awareness is an important component in conservation and therefore this program is a vital tool, but even much more, the films and activities are practical teaching aides to subjects theoretically taught in the schools. It’s vivid, this free program has to keep going for the benefit of Kenyan youth and public at large. We thank all individuals and organizations who have tirelessly supported this program. And we kindly appeal for more financial and material support. Lets educate our youth, they are the future conservationists.

It would be really great to see some photos of the mobile unit in action and all the different schools and children you interact with. Keep up the graet work!

Hi to all at Wildlife Clubs…
Here at the African Environmental Film Foundation, we are proud to say that Wildlife Clubs of Kenya is one of our most important Distribution Partners. According to the latest records you submitted to us, in the past year, you have shown our educational films to over 260,000 kids through your mobile units and your education centers. Fantastic!
We recently donated 1000 copies of our film “Running Dry” - about water issues in Kenya - to Wildlife Clubs for your workshop to be held in Nakuru at the end of this month, focusing on water catchment areas - we look forward to hearing how that goes.
By the end of 2008, we hope to have at least 5 more films which will be available to you (alongside other conservation organizations) free of charge for use in your educational programs.
Keep up the good work,
Tanya

Dear Tanya,
We would like to send our sincere gratitudes to the African Environmental Film Foundation who have tirelessly supported us especially in providing films for our educational programs. It’s good news that you have plans for some more films for WCK and other organizations by 2008. Thank you so much.
Kind regards
Gabriel
