Oltukai Conservancy

Dear colleagues,
I am Boniface Ngimojino, who has been assisting with the issues of the conservancy (Ol Tukai), and have a strong urge within myself to let you know the the updates/events including the recent developments.
As reported, we have received the first rains in Ol Tukai and will lead the team of 20 doctors to Loibon (social and spiritual doctor), all these undertaken.
The rains at the moment stopped though, still have lot of green pasture and water which is attracting Wildebeest, antelopes, Zebras and birds around the lake.
The Team of Doctors who visited the area became very happy and enjoyed the local knowledge, in which a good number of questions were asked. Since the Maasai are among of the few tribes that are preserving their cultures, traditions and Identities.

The Laibon belongs to the Maasai tribe (Shinini clan) and has powers and manages to know the future, that enables him to be trusted and respected in the society.
In two weeks time we are going to start the tee-planting project around Ol Tukai dam, where the Instructor will demonstrate how to plant the Native trees at the site of the dam.
The School pupils, Anti-poaching team and community at-large will be involved in this exercise, so as to acquire knowledge. Will give the results/feedback after the implementation of the project.
Thank you,
Boniface Ngimojino.
