The day in search of the rare Bongo antelope species in The wetland and forest ecosystem. We started early morning in the Nairobi safari walk where we found the Bongo in a devasting state. But has received treatment from the Kenya wildlife service veterinaries. Nairobi National Park established in 1946 has been a home to the endangered black Rhinos due to the rich ecosystem as they fed on the mega fauna found in the park.
Rare Bongo inhabited forested places in the Aberdares ranges and other forested areas in the country. More effort and a combine conservation consent between the communities living around forested areas and the Kenya Wildlife Service has been a key to survival of the Bongo species.
On our safari we stop as we clarify that what done by our president on 30th April 2016 in the Ivory burning has a mark and legacy in our conservation of our heritage.
The ashes is what welcome us to the site, where 105 tons of Ivories which worth much before turning to Ivories from Tusks in our magnificent Elephants.

On Monday, the talk about endangered species of Giraffes started before noon, to passed the message to the congregation of visitors on the labor day holiday, who pay their visit to the wildlife sanctuary called the Giraffes center in Karen Nairobi county Kenya. Benjamin who is the education officer gave us a brief history of the center which was started for the conservation of these endangered species of wildlife, due to human encroachment and poaching for bush meat in the western parts of Kenya, The founders conceived a unique idea on how to conserved the few remain Rothschild giraffes by creating a safe haven for them in 1979. They rehabilitated young giraffes and reintroduced them back to the wild after every three years of every individual being in the center. He elaborated more about the species. Rothschild's giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis Rothschildi) is one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies, with only a few hundred members in the wild. Also known as the Baringo giraffe, after the Lake Baringo area of Kenya, or as the Ugandan giraffe. All of those living in the wild are in protected areas in Kenya and Uganda. What was amazing is that the giraffes were keeping on visit the balcony for their nutrition food called pellets, that gives us the conservationists a feel of what we love most by coming closer to these iconic animals of our heritage.
Benjamin Briefing about the Giraffes Declines causes
After greetings he decided to go back and reunion with others.
Our future is in our hands, so we need to revolutionize cloud services in rural areas to enhance technology to the society.
On 22nd, April, 2016 in #eaCloudsummit which was held in Inter Continental hotel Nairobi.
Session 4: Enhancing innovation by utilizing cloud services.
Thought leadership presentation by Prof. Bitange Ndemo.
keys points mentioned;
Servers now in use may not work next two years due to rapidly changing technology, lets all be the change we want as a society in the this digital era.
We need regulations to better guidelines of how to use the cloud services.
The government need now to have population profile of every individual in regardless of where they live by use of cloud services power.
We need to be trustworthy in the use of cloud services.
We as technology hub country, lets keep pushing cloud services to accelerate societal transformation and economic.
Cloud services indiscriminate communities from northern and coast parts it brings us all together.
Advantages of cloud services.
Allows use of already created resources online.
We can leverage technology to overcome people deprivations so to eradicate poverty in the globe.
20 millions Kenyan population are children recent deprivations research from UNICEF shows that;
15.8 millions deprived sanitation
13.1 millions inadequate shelter
1.1 millions deprived health
7.8 millions deprived safe water
5.3 millions deprived education
Research by Minu Limbu UNICEF Kenya country office.
Solution is sharing cloud services and other infrastructures like electricity, schools and roads with the less fortune.
Everybody collect public data, must share free to everybody or disseminate equally to all.
It was a great meetup and to share ideas on how to improve on use of cloud services, with a mission in the globe to change the situation to benefit humanity on the planet.
The day started well, a lots of texts flows to my inbox as friends wishes me the 27th birthday from all over the world. Received all with my inner heartfelt then head to wishes the wild babies in the wild their best time as I celebrated this big day. I decided that my day celebration can't be completed without sharing happiness with the amazing endangered species who are orphaned by the poaching menace due to human greedy for their ivories in the black market.
I took a Matatu to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi national park before the time for these orphans comes back for the midday milk in the Nairobi nursery then back to the forest.
I arrived safely and give my fee for Elephants milk before get in to witnessed the session which I really enjoyed being with them.
About these amazing creatures in Nairobi Nursery unit: The infant nursery stage.
The orphan arrival after rescued orphan- infant elephants arrives at the Trust's Nairobi nursery severely traumatized by the events that have caused the separation from their mothers. The infant inevitably enters a period of deep grieving for its lost loved ones which can last for months. During this critical period survival hangs in the balance and not all calves can be persuaded to make the efforts to try live.
The Nairobi nursery offers a secure base and a loving environment to successfully nurture these orphans at a time of greatest need.
Why my birthday cake change to milk giving in the nature?
The magic milk formula; Wyeth laboratories SMA Baby formula, comprised of well emulsified fat with additional Calcium, Magnesium,Vitamin C and later on fortified coconut and cooked oatmeal porridge. Is the basis used by the trust, perfected by Dame Daphne Sheldrick for successfully rearing a new born elephant through its first very fragile few months. The milk formula must be combined with the correct intensive and hands-on husbandry which involved human family of keepers who replace the lost elephant family and stay with the orphans in the Nairobi nursery 24 hours a day, sleeping with the infants during night on a rotational basis.
As a conservationist may I appreciate the good work being done by the trust that has successfully rehabilitated many orphans and back to the wild for this incredibly successful reintegration program has enjoyed worldwide acclaim by accomplishing its long-term conservation as their priority.
Many thanks indeed for their great work their doing for our heritage. My massage to all our informants in the ecosystem lets be watchful to safe this magnificent species.
I am glad that the Ntv wild also feature this, It's a huge moment to value these magnificent creatures in our heritage.

Samburu county in
the northern part Kenya, 309 kms from Nairobi the capital city. Semi
arid areas inhabited by the Samburu community who are speakers of Maa
language of the plains nilotes. The Samburu Buffaloes springs national reserve and Samburu national reserve where the endangered species of Beisa Oryxs and reticulated Giraffes called it their home.
Famous conservationist Ian Douglas of the save the Elephants organization has contributed a lot for the flourishing of this ecosystem, by introducing the research for the African Elephants and helped in eradicating poaching of the endangered species targeted in black market.
Our journey passing
plains covered by shrubs, whittle acacias and the palms trees along
Ewaso nyiro north river that originated from Aberdares ranges and
drains its waters to Lorian swamp.
Our mission to
spread the open source learning to the students of Girgir day secondary school in the archers post
north of Samburu was accomplished well as we all enjoy the beauty of
our country Kenya rich diversity of nature, passing highlands of mt
Kenya the land of Mwea rice plantations and back safely to Nairobi county where Tunapanda institute is
situated.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt. The TechDada Initiative established by the Tunapanda Institute passionate ladies, to Accelerate Technologies as they bridge the digital divides into the society. Back to the KGSA TechDada initiative taking good time teaching them what is open source libre office. Most of them is first time touching and learning more about computers.
We keep on encouraging them to shine on their bright future, We all unite together for the change in our cutting edge technology era. We formed groups for facilitating their activities, by showing them the use of computers and how to create folders and files to store and retrieve data. They were so much happy to interacted with 21st century devices which they never thought they may that sooner be able to use them in the that location of the biggest slum in Kenya. The activity has attracted many of other students outside while starting their games time, The session goes well and we completed it well and they are looking forward to learn more.
The day started like the usual days but the trainers are all optimistic about the Certell content offline distribution to the users in rural areas upcountry. We arrived safely to Beverly schools of Kenya near Aberdares ranges well known of being the one of Kenya water catchment areas. We set up our interviews that have to start 1 hour latter. Interviews in tech, UI and research groups kick off with users appreciating their efforts of contributing since from the planing stage till today learning stage.
Aberdares ranges being the source of Kenya long river Tana, that drains its waters to Indian ocean. Other species of flora and fauna are mostly found in the moorland where Bongo the rare antelopes are found, So it wasn't only the education mission for those are nature lovers like I we were so happy to encountered the following in the rich ecosystem on our way to the school we spotted the;
Cape rook birds.
Butterflies.
and other species of insects.
Healthier
environment and people health our key focus.
We
took our positions ready to be trained how to handle emergency health
issues that may occurs.
Doctor
Micheal introduce us to ABC the term that means Airways, Breathing
and Circulation. Airways;
Choking
is caused by a blockage in the throat, which restricts airflow.For
any choking person the first thing you need to check is the airways,
whether is blocked or if someone is choking you need;
to perform
abdominal
thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) or
back
blows
or both.
Rapid
first aid for choking
can save
a
person's life.
Clear
airways when choking;
Most
often, choking in adults is the result of getting food stuck in the
windpipe. In children, choking commonly occurs when when toys, coins,
or other small objects become lodged in the throat or windpipe.
Procedures
to perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on someone else:
Stand
behind the person.
Wrap
your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly.
Make
a fist with one hand.
Position
it slightly above the person's navel.
Grasp
the fist with the other hand.
Press
hard into the abdomen with a quick, upward thrust as if trying to
lift the person up.
Perform
a total of 5 abdominal thrusts,
if
needed. If the blockage still isn't dislodged, repeat the
five-and-five cycle.
Clear
the airway;
Open
the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Put
your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back.
Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the
airway.
Check
for normal breathing, taking no more than five or 10 seconds. Look
for chest motion, listen for normal breath sounds, and feel for the
person's breath on your cheek and ear. Gasping is not considered to
be normal breathing. If the person isn't breathing normally and you
are trained in CPR, begin mouth-to-mouth breathing. Skip and
continue chest compression. 15/1.
Breathing:
Breathe for the person;
Rescue
breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose breathing
if the mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened.
With
the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver), pinch the
nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the person's
mouth with yours, making a seal.
Prepare
to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath lasting one
second and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give
the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt,
chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath. Thirty chest
compression followed by two rescue breaths is considered one cycle.
