Despite what is happening on the political scene, conservation work has to go on. Wildlife Clubs of Kenya has been out in the different parts of Kenya spreading conservation education Messages to the youth. In the month of January the Mobile Education Unit was joined by Mr. Sayira from Mkomazi National Park in Tanzania. The management of Mkomazi National Park hopes to start their own Mobile Education Programme and where else could they learn the skills of running a Mobile Education Unit other than Wildlife Clubs of Kenya. Mr. Sariya spent two weeks with our Mobile Education Officer Mr. Ngale talking to children of Kajiado district about wildlife. At the end of these two weeks they had reached over 6,000 kids with education talks, distributed magazines and shown films on wildlife. In the words of Mr. Sariya ” Asante WCK, nimejifunza Mambo mengi kweli” Tanslated as “Thank you WCK, I have learnt alot of things”.
