Human Rights Are Not Things

As I Swept The Last Bit Of Dust, I Made A Covenant With Myself: I Will Accept. Whatever Will Be, Will Be. I Have A Life To Lead. I Recalled Words A Friend Had Told Me, The Philosophy Of Her Faith. "life Is A Journey And A Struggle," She Had Said. "we Cannot Control It, But We Can Make The Best Of Any Situation." I Was Indeed In Quite A Situation. It Was Up To Me To Make The Best Of It.

Anybody Can Dig A Hole And Plant A Tree. But Make Sure It Survives. You Have To Nurture It, You Have To Water It, You Have To Keep At It Until It Becomes Rooted So It Can Take Care Or Itself. There Are So Many Enemies Of Trees.

One Of The Reasons Why We Started The Green Belt Movement Is To Work With These Ordinary Peasant Farmers So As To Educate Them That, Despite The Fact That They Are Poor, It Is In Their Interest To Protect The Soil That They Have, To Protect The Forest They Have, To Protect The Land That They Have, Because If They Don't Do It, Things Can Be Only Worse Tomorrow For Them For Them And For Their Children.

What A Friend We Have In A Tree, The Tree Is The Symbol Of Hope, Self Improvement And What People Can Do For Themselves.

Once People See That You Improve You Life If You Are Educated, Then Education Becomes A Valuable Tool And People Want It.
