RIP... You commited the whole of your life advocating for existence of trees for the benefit of today and future generations.You not only advocated peace among the people but also peace between Humans and nature.By fighting for trees to live, you ensured there was water for BIOS.

FANTASTICA this WOMAN! THANK YOU!!!

What is this shit that a man should put his name to a WOMAN? WOMEN should NOT allow this shit!

With all due respect to the professor, she has misrepresented how the idea of what became known as "Students' Airlift" started. President JFK did not decide to give young Africans scholarships to go to America; his father's foundation came on board 2 years after the project had been in place.

[emboko]

wangari you are not complete if you dont scorn the injustices going on in your own country of birth kenya, you are useless to kenyans if you put a blind eye on the ongoings, come out and make us kenyans proud by being the wangari maathai we knew before you won the noble price.

That's my exact feeling at the moment...Human rights and fighting for the weaker ones in community...

PEACE

That is so true Prof!!So much is hidden from us back in Africa even our schools' curriculum are pro colonialists!Back in Africa we think the western world is the fairest of all,only to have the greatest shock!!The discrimination might have lessened so much now BUT its still existing and it pisses me off..

Thanx for the truth,

PEACE
