A tree….waits. It just waits and waits. For us to cut it down. – Student @ Hekima College
I visited Hekima College in Nairobi where I lead a seminar on ecology, spirituality climate change. We discussed climate change in relation to equality, poverty, social justice, spirituality, and the inherent dignity of nature and life.
A great discussion followed.
Western Kenya should have the largest species diversity in the world. Now, many species are extinct, and the region is under threats related to climate change, rural poverty, political violence and displacement, deforestation, and over-use of pesticides.
In Swahili, Hekima means wisdom. Healthy human living conditions must be given weight.
The environment – is both a resource and a gift. No one can really own a resource. It must be shared.

Vero, you’re such an inspiration, a down to earth individual to work with. The time you interacted with us will always be inscribed in our minds. Continue to be yourself. Richard.
