"The environment is very important in the aspects of peace because when we destroy our resources and our resources become scarce, we fight over that".

Kenya is a country in transition, but it has good potential. I agree about those great marathon runners from Kenya. They work hard to perfect their craft, and I'm not surprised they are successful at it. Thanks for visiting my Cusco page. Cheers!
Back in 1992 I was in Nairobi when Wangari Mathai was protesting with the striking mothers at All Saints cathedral. A real time of change in Kenya or so I thought.
Good to commemorate Wangari Maathai winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I read about Kenya recently in Barack Obama's first book, Dreams from my Father.
This is an especial page :-) Well done!
