Africa Mission A Great Success
Background: Cry of the Heart has an ongoing relationship with the people of the Tona River region of Kenya, Africa. In this remote region there are three tribes of people: 1. The Pokomo People - The Pokomo's are agriculturalists. They are subsistence farmers and are predominently Christian. 2. The Orma People - The Orma's are nomadic. They have large herds of cattle and move about in orger to graze their cattle. They are predominently Moslem. 3. The Sanye People - The Sanye people are gatherers. They etch out a meager living by gathering bundles of firewood and attempting to sell them. The Sanye are very poor and suffer from starvation lack of education, lack of clean water, and lack of basic health care. In addition the Sanye are the outcasts of the region. They are a mixture of Moslem and Pagan Tribal Religion.
Minneoghe Nursery School: Three years ago we sent a team to Kenya to build the nursery school in the Sanye village of Eghecumbe. We built the school to accommodate 30 children. It was our hope and prayer that an education would create an opportunity for a better future, a new sense of self esteem, and a chance to share the Good News of Jesus. Three years later there are 86 children enrolled in the school. Consequently, our mission this year was to build an addition to the school, as well as a kitchen and an outdoor bathroom. As always in addition to the construction our mission was to be ambasadors for Christ building relationships, sharing Christ's love and metting needs. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

The Oromo People and Oromia The following summary information is adopted from the book by Gadaa Melbaa, Khartoum, Sudan 1988. Summary Information: People: Oromo
Country: Oromia (also phonetically spelled as Oromiyaa)
Area: 600,000 sq.km approx.
Capital: Finfinnee (also called Addis Ababa)
Population: 30 million (1995 estimate)
Language: Oromo, also called Afan Oromo or Oromiffa
Economy: Mainly agriculture (coffee, several crops, spices, vegetables) and Animal Husbandry; Mining industry; Tourism trade; Medium and small-scale industries (textiles, refineries, meat packaging, etc)
Religion: Waaqqefata (the traditional belief in Waaqa or God), Islam, and Christian (Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant) Overview The Oromo make up a significant portion of the population occupying the Horn of Africa. In the Ethiopian Empire alone, Oromo constitute about 30 million of the 55 million inhabitants of the Ethiopian Empire. In fact, Oromo is one of the most numerous nations in Africa which enjoys a homogeneous culture and shares a common language, history and descent and once shared common political, religious and legal institutions. During their long history, the Oromo developed their own cultural, social and political system known as the Gadaa system. It is a uniquely democratic political and social institution that governed the life of every individual in the society from birth to death.

Kenya Country Information (Kenya National Anthem) Kenya's Name Kenya - a wonderful sounding word is named after a mountain of the same name. It was given by the Kikuyu people who lived around present day Mt. Kenya which they referred to as Kirinyaga or Kerenyaga, meaning ‘mountain of whiteness’ because of its snow capped peak (yes, Africa does have snow capped peaks). Mt Kirinyaga which was the main landmark became synonymous with the territory the British later claimed as their colony. However, the name Kenya arose out of the inability of the British and others to pronounce Kirinyaga correctly. When one hears the name "Kenya," there are images of the savannas, animals, safari trips, the Rift Valley, the Indian Ocean coastline and Lake Victoria but Kenya is over (2003 estimate) 30 million people of various ethnic groups (47) and backgrounds and without having met the people of Kenya, one has not seen the real, living Kenya. Early Visitors and Settlers The first people to settle in Kenya were indigenous African communities who migrated from various parts of the continent (Kenya is made up of various people groupings). Other visitors included traders, explorers, missionaries, slave-traders and travelers who came in from various parts of the world such as Portugal, Arabia, Roman empire, India, Greece and as far as China. They visited mainly the East African Coast from as early as the first century A.D. While the majority of the visitors went back to their countries, some settled, and intermarried with the local populations giving rise to a new Swahili culture along the Coast which has a strong Arabian flavor.

Nation on the Web CULTURAL TOURISM DOWN MEMORY LANE IN LAMU By Monica Kinyanjui Lamu viewed fom the Indian Ocean Lamu archipelago is an ideal resort for those who like walking down the memory lane. There are magnificent old houses and narrow alleys that have defied the passage of time, delicate wood craftsmanship of yester year, numerous mosques and a thriving Swahili culture. A visit to Lamu takes one back through time to a way of life that has remained unchanged for the last six hundred years. Time tends to stand still when holidaying in Lamu. Little has changed and one can capture the ambience of mystery of one of the trading posts of East African coastline that has persisted for centuries. Lamu archipelago is the Venice of Kenya as it is linked to the mainland and to the three other smaller islands of Kiwayu, Manda and Kiunga by waterways. World famous author, the late Ernest Hemmingway, had made his home in Lamu and a lot of his writings were inspired by this fascinating island.

http://www.ossrea.net/ssrr/workneh/workneh-12.htm
NOTES
    The origin of the name Galla is unknown. Many writers and travellers offered different and contradictory hypotheses. Huntingford (1969) assumed that the name Galla was probably given to strangers by the Sidamas, since the Sidama word Galo means stranger, that is, non-Moslem. Cerulli (1992) interpreted the phrase "Gala-lencada" as wandering lion. The Jesuit historian Father Balthezar Tellez thought that the name Galla was derived from Hebrew and Greek word "milk" ( Beke 1848, 3). Beke thought that it was probably because of the fairness of the Galla that the Jesuits designated them as milk. According to Braukamper "the name Galla was not restricted to the Oromo, but was also transferred by the Amhara and European authors to a number of neighboring groups such as HadiyaKambataEast Gurage" (1986, 1). Although there is no evidence that indicates that the word Galla is a bad word, it was given negative and derogatory meanings by Abyssinian rulers. The Oromo "usually adopt the proud title of `Ilm Orma' the son of men; and they call their language Afan Oromo" (Beke 1848, 3). The indigenous knowledge Vs modern scientific knowledge is an ideological construction. Some western scholars and modernizing groups consider modern knowledge as a universal horizon for humanity. On the other hand, they marginalized and disenfranchised indigenous knowledge. In this study, my intention is not to reverse the binary opposition and to favor tradition over modernity. Instead, I would argue that indigenous and modern knowledge are not rigidly hierarchical and mutually exclusive. Modern knowledge is an extension and development of indigenous knowledge. In some instances, they are parallel and convergent.

Central America is a narrow strip of land covering 533,000km , joining two continents and separating two oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific. It has a diverse range of habitats with nearctic and neotropical faunal and floral elements. In general terms, it includes the highlands of the interior with its volcanic chains, with humid forest and mountains, descending to the coastal plains of the Pacific Ocean which are narrow and dry, and the plains of the Caribbean coast, which are wide and very humid.

The East African Environment and Development Magazine The Forest is Dead, Long Live the Forest! By PAUL GOLDSMITH A POWERFUL Straddling the Mt Kenya rain shadow, the 11,000 hectare Imenti-Kuuru forest spans several ecological zones and contains an unusually rich concentration of botanical biodiversity. The only remaining corridor for elephants migrating to montane forest from dry northern game reserves, and formerly a magnet for European bird watchers, this peri-urban forest also demarcates the northern border of Meru town. The respect accorded to trees and forests mirrors the Meru traditional ethic of environmental conservation; although pressure has been intense, the fact that the forest survives at all next to a growing urban centre gives cause for some hope. Up for grabs The 1989 excision of 200 hectares of prime forest for an Agriculture Society of Kenya showground set the forces of destruction in motion. Urban entrepreneurs began to launch weekend forays into the forest, emerging in broad daylight in matatus and land rovers packed with logs. Peasants followed suit by poaching valuable hard woods. Sixty more hectares were excised for a Kenya Reinsurance Housing Estate, and though local activists frustrated a surreptitious attempt by local elites to annex other plots in the forest, the attrition continued.

The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands World Wetlands Day 2000: Activities planned and reported for WWD 2000 What is World Wetlands Day? World Wetlands Day , set for 2 February of each year, in recognition of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar, was celebrated for the first time in 1997. The purpose of World Wetlands Day is to provide an opportunity for government and citizens' groups to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular. clean-up days, to radio and television interviews and letters to newspapers, to the launch of new wetland policies, new Ramsar sites, and new programmes at the national level. The suggested theme of WWD 2000 The suggested theme for World Wetlands Day 2000 is " Celebrating Our Wetlands of International Importance ". One of the texts being offered by the Ramsar Bureau in honor of WWD 2000 is an interpretation of this theme in terms of the "Vision for the List" the Convention's newly-adopted Strategic Framework for developing a global network of mutually reinforcing important wetlands by assisting nations in the task of planning their designations for the List of Wetlands of International Importance strategically. You can read this text here on this site, download the original brochure itself in PDF form, or ask for any number of hard copies to be sent to you in the post. This list includes both announcements of pre-WWD planning and later reports of activities that were carried out. So the grammatical tenses may seem a little strange.

Red Tape and Visas Obvious, but still worth stating, check that your passport is current. And check that it will remain valid for at least six months beyond the end of your projected stay in Kenya. If you're travelling further afield in Africa, you'll need to allow for this, and ensure your passport has plenty of spare pages for stamps. British citizens need no visa to enter Kenya and nor do other Commonwealth citizens (with the exceptions of Indians, Pakistanis, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, Sri Lankans and Nigerians) or passport holders from Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Ethiopia, Sweden, Spain, and Turkey, all of whom can enter Kenya freely, with just a visitor's pass, issued routinely on arrival.

Market Integration and Fairness: Evidence from Ultimatum, Dictator, and Public Goods Experiments in East Africa Jean Ensminger Division of Humanities and Social Sciences HSS 228-77 California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA jensming@hss.caltech.edu Paper to appear in: Cooperation, Reciprocity and Punishment: Experiments in 15 Small-Scale Societies. Joseph Henrich, Robert Boyd, Samuel Bowles, Colin Camerer, Herbert Gintis, Richard McElreath, and Ernst Fehr, editors. Under review at Princeton University Press. Market Integration and Fairness: Evidence from Ultimatum, Dictator, and Public Goods Experiments in East Africa Jean Ensminger It is now well established that people in developed economies behave very differently in economic experiments than narrow economic self-interest would predict. Specifically, people appear to be more fair-minded and cooperative than predictions based on homo-economicus would lead us to assume (Henrich et al. , this volume, Fehr and Schmidt 1999). Intriguingly, the first data from a less developed society, namely the Amazonian Machiguenga study of Joseph Henrich (2000), which was a pilot for this volume, demonstrated far less fair-mindedness. Many of the other less developed societies represented in this volume also have means and modes in the ultimatum game that are below those for developed societies.
