Category: Conservation Awareness, Education | Date: Mar 12 2009 | By: milgistrust
Very exciting news the painter, ‘Nderitu’ that we took on to paint pictures of Animals, trees, scenery, anything he can think of that relates to the work of the Milgis Trust, is BRILLIANT… We are so excited!! He started on the wall of the new nursery school that the TOTO TRUST UK have very kindly donated the money to build at Latakwen.. He has a permanent audience, of warriors, teachers, men, women and children… any one passing by, so hes got plenty of company!
The new Latakwen Nursery school, built by Milgis trust, donated by Toto Trust.. The Ndoto Mountains towering behind..

Nderitu
We will be having an opening with the community on the 26th march 09… We will hand over the Nursery classroom, and the VOSS drinking water project.. Nderitu at the moment is painting scenes of running water and clear rivers on the ‘Kiosk’ and Tanks, around the center…He then will engage on his next painting on the school, which will be depicting scenes of over grazed lands, cut down trees, thin live stock, no water, compared to well managed land, beautiful shady trees, fat cattle, lots of water!! Should be fun….
Milgis Trusts plan is to send Nderitu, with his conservation messages to all the schools in our coverage, to paint on the school walls… brighten up the life of any one who walks past.. He will be supported by a contingency of scouts to talk in the schools, each one will teach the children all about the animals they represent, and to discuss all the goings on in the area!!…

I Helen Douglas-Dufresne, have been doing walking camel safaris for the last 20 years in the Mathews-Ndoto region having witnessed the destruction of the Milgis ecosystem by the local communities who were unaware of its implications, either we did something or not- so the Milgis trust was born!

Helen, the murals are great! Nderitu is indeed a brilliant painter. How can I get in touch with him to see if he can paint at the local schools here in West Gate Conservancy after he has completed the schools in your coverage area?
So great to hear about everything that is going on in the beautiful Milgis,
Shivani

Beautiful, he certainly does have talent…such a lovely idea and i’m sure as well as spreading the message of conservation it will also encourage all the children and everyone else that see’s it to take an interest in the creative arts and discover what talents they have hidden! Wonderful idea!
