A Child in the Upper Catchment of the Mara River
This picture was taken by Paul Geemi, an Ogiek that we work with here in the Mara River Basin. Geemi borrowed our camera a few months ago when he visited his birth village. This is one of the pictures he brought back...the expression on the child's face captivates me.
The Kemgesi Group
While we were in Mugumu for our quarterly meeting, CARE-Tanzania took us to one of the villages they have been assisting with water, sanitation and hygiene related activities under the Trans-boundary Water for Biodiversity and Human Health Project here in the Mara River Basin.
As we drove up to the small village of Kemgesi, we were surprised by the huge celebration awaiting us.
This video was taken by one of our visitors, Nick Silverman of Natural Systems Designs. Nick has been visiting us in the Mara River Basin for the past few weeks just before he begins a PhD program at the University of Montana.

The Girls of Mbalibali
As you all may or may not know, the organization we work for is called GLOWS - Global Water for Sustainability. From the main GLOWS website:
GLOWS is a consortium financed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) working to increase social, economic, and environmental benefits to people of the developing world through clean water, healthy aquatic ecosystems and sustainable water resources management.
We just returned from our quarterly meeting held in Mugumu, Tanzania. The meeting was hosted by one of our partners, CARE-Tanzania, who has been working in the Serengeti District of Tanzania for several years with funding through GLOWS from USAID. The first day of the meeting was held in the field and we were able to travel around to several of CARE's project sites.
At one of the sites we visited, the Mbalibali Primary School, CARE has recently completed a set of latrines and a rooftop water harvesting system. During our visit, some of the girls broke out in song as a show of thanks.
Here is a short video of the "Girls of Mbalibali".
