Mazingira Bora - TIST

Most TIST Small Groups appreciate andpractice TIST Values. The success of TISTis based on the integrity and effort ofENGLISH VERSIONTIST VALUES: The Foundation andStrength of TIST.individual members. Our achievements are largelyguided by each one of us keenly abiding by theseValues.In many of our activities, from tree planting,practicing Conservation Farming, improvingbiodiversity, Building or buying improved stoves,What is an indigenous tree?An indigenous, or native tree is one that is welladapted to an area because it has grown and reproducednaturally there over a long period of time.Not all species that are familiar to us are indigenous.Many have been introduced by people inareas far away. There are over 800 species of treesthat are indigenous in Kenya.Why are indigenous trees important?Because indigenous trees have evolved with thelocal environment, animals, plants, and other organismsaround them they are well suited to the area.They often require less maintenance than exotic,introduced species. They diversify our farms, so thatrisks of pest outbreaks can be lower. They providebiodiversity benefits such as habitat for wildlife anddiverse benefits for us from their fruits, timberleaves, and traditional medicine. Introduced, or exoticspecies, can provide many benefits, but somecan become weedy and crowd out other trees orcrops.When we plant indigenous trees on our farms,we are helping preserve species that have beenuseful to our mothers and fathers, to our grandparents,and to the people and wildlife of Kenya forgenerations. We are still learning about benefit ofthe many species around us. We have discoveredthat some are as fast growing as the exotic species.By Joseph Gitumateaching and practicing important health issues,protecting our lands against soil erosion and otherdegradation causes, fighting climate changes anddeforestation, protection our rivers for clean andadequate water and many others activities includingincome generating, TIST Values play a central role.In TIST, We Are. We are Honest; We areAccurate; We are Transparent; We are Servant toeach other; We are Mutually Accountable; We areRole Models; We are Volunteers.Indigenous Tree Species Have Multiple Benefits.When we plant indigenous species, we can helpensure that the trees and their benefits are therefor our children.In TIST, we have some additional biodiversityincentives for planting indigenous tree species.Groups near rivers, who follow TIST’s Best Practicefor Riparian areas and plant indigenous trees,may qualify to receive an additional incentivethrough the TIST Riparian Corridor initiative. Byhaving diverse indigenous species along the streamsand rivers, other insects, birds and animals will havethe ability to move and flourish.TIST Small Groups near protected forests, whoplant indigenous trees, may be eligible to join CFAgroups near them, to plant indigenous species andearn carbon income in these forests.Here are some of indigenous trees for Kenya;1. Muringa (Cordia Africana)2. Meru oak-muhuru (vitex keniensis)3. Mugumo, murumba (ficus thonningii)4. Podo, muthengera (podocarpus falcatus)5. Mwiria (prunus africana)6. Mutoo, Mukeu,(Dombeya rotundifolia).7. Muuti (erythrina abyssinica)8. Muuuku, (terminalia brownii)Try planting some indigenous tree in yourshamba this rainy season!3

ENGLISH VERSIONWe Are Servant To Each Other: Wamura ClusterLeader is a good Role Model.Last month, Wamura Cluster, through theirCluster Leader, Mr. Charles Ng’anga, boughtten (10) Envirofit stoves. These are TIST’smanufactured energy saving stoves.Charles volunteered to collect money frominterested members, sent the cash through MPesato Dorothy Naitore (the KitiMoto) in Meru. Luckily,one of the members from Wamura Cluster wasattending a seminar in Gitoro. He was sent to deliverthe ordered stoves to Wamura Cluster. Weencourage other Clusters to do the same. We willDeforestation is the removal of trees and otherwoody vegetation cover.Forests and woodlands cover about a third of theworld’s land surface. They regulate climate, protectwater resources, provide forest products (e.g.timber, medicine, fruit etc) worth billions of dollarsand support millions of plant and animal species.Yet they are being destroyed at a rate of 20 millionhectares per year. Half of the world’s populationdepends on these forests for fuel, yet roughly 100million people do not have enough fuel for minimalenergy requirements.Major causes of deforestation:Deforestation occurs when vegetation iscleared for activities like farming or grazing anduses such as: firewood, brick-making, fish smoking,tobacco-curing, tea-drying, construction, and timber.Forest degradation is when a forest becomesless diverse and resilient due to poor use andmanagement (for example, when old trees are allcut, leaving mainly brush, or when a useful plantspecies is all harvested, or when forest is heavilygrazed, so that trees can’t grow to replace thosethat die).Much of deforestation and forest landdegradation results from a lack of awareness ofthe full value of trees.In some cases, the value of trees may be knownbut poverty and the idea that there are no goodalternatives lead people to clear trees.By Dorothy Naitoreoffer discounts to such similar arrangements. Hereare varieties of manufactured energy saving jikosTIST is selling, to both TIST members and Non-TIST members, at subsidized prices.Envirofit G-3300:2,500 kshDeforestation and forest land degradation areserious problems. What can we do?Consequences of Deforestation.Soil erosion: lack of tree cover and root bindingexposes soil to erosion.Lack of forest resources: removing treesdestroys habitats, reduces biodiversity, removesfood and medicinal resources, and increasescompetition for construction materials. People willhave to walk further for firewood, and if forestproducts are being bought, prices will rise.Lack of other environmental benefits oftrees: Trees act as a windbreak, retain moisture,add oxygen to the air, and add nutrients to soil.Hence without trees the local climate will becomedrier with increased risk of flooding, wind erosion,decreasing soil fertility and diminished air quality.What can we do to prevent deforestation andforest degradation?Establish tree nurseries of diverse andindigenous trees and plant them yourself, ordistribute or sell seedlings to the community.Use energy-saving cook stoves that use lessfirewood and charcoal.Use alternative sources of energy and fuel whenpossible (e.g. heating from the sun, sawdust, coffeeand risk husks, grass, weeds, crop wastes, animalwaste).Carry out tree planting activities. Become asuccessful, effective TIST group! Encourage yourneighbors and friends to join TIST as well.4Envirofit 2-pot/ chimney attachment(to be used with G-3300):1,200 ksh

Do not cultivate land bordering a river orswamp. Leave trees and vegetation to grow toprotect these waters.Be careful to not over-graze land. Limit animals’access to tree seedlings that they may destroy, toENGLISH VERSIONgive the forest a chance to re grow.Encourage agro-forestry or the use ofwoodlots. Having trees on your land provides goodaccess to forest products and helps protect nearbyforest.5Small Group Best Practices: Action Steps andAction Planning.TIST groups do a lot of practical activities:Planting trees and improving agriculturaltechniques. When there is a lot of work tobe done, it is good to create action steps. Eachgroup member should tell the group what they aregoing to achieve that week. We are going to teachyou and your Small Group how to do actionplanning. Please share this with other members ofyour Small Group during your meeting.An action step is something that is:• Specific• Observable (a fly on the wall can see you do it!)• Measurable• Has a beginning and an end• Make sure your action step is realistic and thatyou can achieve it!For example, saying ‘I will plant trees’ is not anaction step because it is too general. ‘I will work onthree mornings this week to transplant 75 seedlingsinto our new grove’ is an action step because it isspecific (transplant 75 seedlings), observable(people can see you do it), measurable (75 seedlings,3 mornings) and has a beginning and an end(at the end of three days you can see the results).When your group meets again, allow tenminutes near the end of the small group meetingfor each person to report on his or her actionstep. Each person quickly:(1) Tells the group what their action stepwas for the past week.(2) States what they actually did.(3) States what action step they will takefor the following week.If the person succeeded in his or her actionstep, the group celebrates the success.If, as often happens to start with, the groupmember met only part of his goal, the groupencourages him / her and does not criticize orblame. When people are able to freely share theirsuccesses and failures they will be encouraged todo better each week.Encourage your Small Groupmembers to think of possible action steps. Makesure each is specific, measurable and realistic! Shareand celebrate the action steps that your SmallGroup has accomplished.Action Steps for Action Planning.A similar method can be used when planning. Herean example is given in brackets. When your groupis planning what to do, make sure your plans are:Specific (Our TIST Small Group will plant 1000trees at the local hospital by November 30)Measurable (How many? - 1000 trees will beplanted)Achievable/Realistic (Our TIST Small Group canplant 1000 trees in 5wks – 100 trees per Tuesdayand Thursday, 10 trees per person/per day)Time-bound (Has a beginning and an end - wewill plant the trees between Oct 15 to Nov 30)Observable (A fly on the wall can see us planting)SMARTO!This is the guide and test of your action steps foryour plan and helps you be specific:1) What – (Planting 1000 trees)2) Who – (TIST Small Group members by name)3) When – (Oct 15 – Nov 30)4) Where – (At the hospital)5) How – (We meet every Tuesday and Thursdayafternoon after the heat of the day and digholes, then plant the trees)6) Why – (To improve the area around thehospital, have more shade for patients andvisitors, people can sit under trees and theshade will make the hospital cooler)Now, try to practice action planning in your nextSmall Group meeting.

Weeding is important for these reasons:1. Your crops need water, soil nutrients and lightto grow strong. If there are weeds they willcompete with your crops for these things. Theweeds will use the soil nutrients and waterthat your crops need. The result is that yourcrops will be weaker and may not survive.2. If your area is not weeded, more pests may beattracted to the area. Pests can damage andkill your crops. The fewer weeds there are,the less chance there will be of snakes andinsects.Here are some of the advantages of weeding yourfields:• Crops grow faster because weeds don’t takethe nutrients and water from the soil.• Crops will become stronger and grow tallerin a shorter period of time.ENGLISH VERSIONKujengana: Don’t miss the blessing for your Small Group.Kujengana is a very important part of yourSmall Group weekly meeting. It says inEphesians 4:15,16 that we are to build eachother up into the fullness of Christ. Each person inyour TIST Small Group brings his or her own specialtalents and gifts to the entire group. One of thewonderful things that happen in the Small Group isrecognizing, sharing and using those God-giventalents.Kujengana is a way to let those talents be seenand be used. There are two parts to Kujengana:• Before the closing prayer, every person in thegroup says one specific, positive thing thatthe leader did at that meeting. For example,smiled, kept to time, made good plans,encouraged all group members to speak, greetedme and made me feel welcome, pointed outsomething that was going very well in themeeting or in the work the group was doing,etc. Each member needs to say somethingdifferent. This is not optional. Everyone givesKujengana to the servant leader. Some groupsalso give Kujengana to the co-leader.• In addition, if someone sees a gift shown by theleader, a group member can also say that.With Rotating Leadership, each week a newleader will receive Kujengana. Through Kujengana,we encourage each other on the good things thatweek’s leader did in the meeting and the talentsthe person showed.Kujengana is also the way we learn to look forpositive things about people and then say them.We all need to train our tongues to say the positive.In addition, the whole group learns what that groupthinks is important in a servant leader. The nextleaders will benefit from what they have heard inKujengana about previous leaders and know whatthe groups think is important in being a servantleader.In response to Kujengana, that week’s servantleader just says, “Thank you.” after each groupmember’s specific, positive statement. There is nodiscussion about how it could have been donebetter, or differently. Often, the person is happywhen he or she is told the good things he or shedid during the meeting. Sometimes we learn thingsabout ourselves we didn’t know!Kujengana helps the leader on that dayrecognize his or her talents and keep on using them.Kujengana also helps the Small Group because allthe members improve their servant leadership asthey learn. Kujengana is a double blessing!We are grateful for the good rains this season,but let’s remember to weed our crops.• Crops can get the sunlight they needunhindered.• Crops are not exposed to as many diseases.• Crops are more protected from a firespreading.• Clean fields indicate that small groups aremaintaining them and are good examples ofthe TIST program. This will attract many peopleto come and see your work.Once you have weeded the area, make sure youremove the weeds from the field. If you leave thedead weeds by the crops they may still attract pestsand diseases that can damage your crop. You maybe able to use weeds in compost manure since theheat from decomposition can kills weed seeds andsome diseases.Remember to keep weeding your tree groves too!6

Wakulima wanapokuja pamoja katikavikundi vidogo vya watu sita kufika kumina wawili, wanafunzwa na kujuzwakuhusu vitendo vya TIST, pamoja na kuhusukujihusisha na soko la hewa, kabla ya kujiunga rasmina TIST. Baada ya mfululizo wa mikutano ya cluster,mafunzo na kubadilishana habari, ndipowanapoamua iwapo watajiunga au hawatajiungakatika TIST.Iwapo wataamua kujiunga na TIST, watatia sainimkataba wa gesi chafu (GhG) pamoja na kampuniya Clean Air Action Corporation (CAAC), kampuniinayoshughulikia uhesabu wa kaboni, ukaguzi nauuzaji kwa ajili ya wakulima.Washiriki katika TISt huanza kupanda mitikuzunguka nyumba zao, mashamba yao, mio midogo,shule, barabara na makanisa. Miti hii huwapa kivuli,hupunguza mmomonyoko wa udongo, huboreshabionuwai, huboresha udongo, na uhamasisha ukuajiwa vichaka na nyasi. Aidha, miti hutupa matundayanayoliwa, madawa ya kienyeji, chakula cha mifugo,kuni hata na vifaa vya ujenzi.Jinsi miti inavyokua, utengenezaji wa chakulahuchukua hewa ya kaboni kutoka hewani nakuiweka mtini, mizizini na udongoni. Ikipimwa,kuzingatiwa a kuhakikishwa inavyofaa, miti yetuhuleta pesa kutoka kwa uuzaji wa kaboni hii, ambayohuwa mfumo wa biashara kutokana na mashambayetu.Kampuni ya Clean Air Action hununua kaboniinayotolewa hewani kufuatia shughuli zetu, halafukuchukua hatua inayotakikana ili kuibadilisha hiikaboni kuwa mkopo wa kaboni halafu kuiuza katikasoko la ulimwengu. Saa hizi, kwa sababu ya faida zajamii, na faida za kibionuwai, mikopo hii ya TISTinachukuliwa kuwa iliyo bora kabisa duniani.Washiriki wa TIST hupata pesa za awali kila mwakana pia watapata asilimia sabini ya faida za mwishonibaada ya uuzaji wa kaboni hii.Leo tuna furaha kutangaza kuwa kati ya mitimilioni sita, sabini na tano elfu na mia nane thelathinina moja iliyopandwa na wakulima wa TIST na iliyopohai kufikia leo katika Kenya, iliyohesabiwa nakukaguliwa, miti milioni tano, ishirini na tatu elfu namia mbili sabini imehakikishwa na kupitishwa natani hizi zimethibitishwa.

Tunataka kuwajuza wakulimakuwa CAAC ina nia ya kutafutasoko bora zaididuniani ili kupata malipo bora zaidi ya kaboni.Gharama ya muradi itakapogharamiwa, kamailivyorejelewa katika kandarasi ya GhG, CAACitaanza kugawana faida na wakulima (wakulimawatapata asilimia sabini )Tukumbukeni , motisha ile ndogo ya shilingimoja na cumni (sasa KSh 1.7) ya kila mti uliopndwana kuwekwa hai hulipwa wakati miti ilipo midogokiasi cha kuwa inaweka kaboni chache sana. Twajuakuwa thamani ya bionuwai, kuni, chakula cha watuna wanyama na faida za miti huwa juu zaidi. Tukiwatumejipanga na tuna motisha, twaweza kuweka pesatosha miakani za kuwekeza katika miradi mingineya mapato.Ni tu miti inapokomaa, thamani ya gesi chafuhuwa nyingi na itakapopata asilimia sabini ya faida.Pia kumbuka, miti iliyo shambani, hubaki kuwa maliya mkulima. Vikundi vidogo vya TISt vinavopandakatika maeneo ya hifadhi, kwa mfano misitu yaserikali, watagawana faida na KFS au na CFA yakaribu. Miti iliyo misituni ni mali ya KFS au taifa.Wakulima wa TIST waweza kupata taarifakamili kuhusu miti ya kila mmoja na nambari kutokakwa watumishi wa cluster wa TIST (wahesabu miti)katika mikutano yao ya cluster. Kila mtumishi waTISt amepewa simu ya TIST iliyo na tovuti ya TIStiliyotengezwa inayowezesha kupata taarifa kuhusukila kikundi kidogo kwa urahisi na katika mikutanoya cluster.Licha ya uuzaji wa kaboni, TIST pia huanzishana kugawana taarifa kuhusu kilimo bora, uhifadhiwa bionuwai, misitu, afya (pamoja na ukimwi) nashughuli za maendeleo endelevu na TISt hujipangakufikisha habari hii inayotumika kwa vikundi vidogo.Tuna magazeti, mikutano ya kila mwezi ya clusterna semina za kikanda ambapo tunagawana mienendoyetu bora tuliyoanzisha.Faida nyinginezo za TIST ni pamoja na;• Malipo ya mapema ya miti iliyo hai.• Vuno bora kutokana na Kilimo hai.• Bionuwai bora shambani na katika maeneohifadhi.• Kujenga uwezo wa utumizi wa teknolojia,mafunzo na ushirika.• Ujuzi wa Kilimo mseto.• Marafiki wapya.• Ujuzi kuhusu uongozi na usimamizi.• Fursa za kuwatumikia wengine.• Makubaliano ya kugawana faida.2

Si miti yote tunayoijua ni ya kiasili. Mingiimeletwe na watu kutoka maeneno yaliyo mbali.Kuna zaidi ya aina mia nane za miti ya kiasili katikaKenya.Ni kwa nini miti ya kiasili ni muhimu?Kwa sababu miti ya kiasili imebadilika pamoja namazingira, wanyama, mimea na viumbe wenginewanaoizunguka, inafaa kwa eneo hilo. Sana sanainahitaji utunzi mdogo kuliko miti iliyoletwa.Inaongeza mseto mashambani mwetu, kwa hivyouwezekano wa kuzuka kwa wadudu unapungua.Inaleta faida za kibionuwai kwa mfano huwa kikaocha wanyama pori na faida mbalimbali ketu kutokanana matunda, mbao, majani na dawa ya kiasili. Mitiiliyoletwa eneoni yaweza kuwa na faida nyingi lakinimingine huwa gugu na kuiondoa miti na mimeamingine.Tunapopanda miti ya aina ya kiasili mashambanimwetu, tunasaidia kuweka aina zilizokuwa muhimukwa mama na akina baba wetu, mababu zetu, nakwa watu na wanyama pori wa Kenya kwa vizazivingi. Bado tunasoma kuhusu faida za aina nyingizinazotuzunguka. Tumegundua kwamba baadhi yamiti hii hukua haraka kama miti ya aina ya kigeni.Tunapopanda miti ya aina ya kiasili, tunaweza kusaidiakuhakikishakuwa miti na faida zake zitawafikiawatoto wetu.muhimu ya kiafya, kulinda mashamba yetu dhidi yammomonyoko wa udongo na uharibifu wa sababunyingine, kukumbana na mabadiliko ya tabianchi naukataji miti, kulinda mito yetu ili kupata maji safi natosha na shughuli nyinginezo zinazoleta pesa, maadiliya TIST yana jukumu kubwa.Katika TIST, Tuko.

KISWAHILI VERSIONSisi utumikiana: Kiongozi wa Cluster ya Wamurani mfano wa kuigwa.Mwezi jana, Cluster ya Wamura, Kupitiakiongozi wao wa cluster, bwana CharlesNg’anga, ilinunua meko kumi (10) ya ainaya Envirofit. Haya ni meko ya kuokoa nishatiyaliyotengezwa kutoka kwa TISTCharles alijitolea kukusanya pesa kutokana nawanacluster waliokuwa na nia ya kununua, akatumapesa na njia ya M-Pesa kwa Dorothy Naitore(KitiMoto) aliye Meru. Kwa bahati nzuri, mmoja wacluster ya Wamura alikuwa anaelekea semina Gitoro.Alitumwa kuyafikisha meko haya yaliyoitishwa nacluster ya Wamura. Tunawahimiza cluster zingineUkataji misitu ni kutolewa kwa miti namimea mingine yenye mbao.Misitu na vichaka hufunika sehemu moja juu ya tatuya ardhi. Miti hubadilisha tabianchi, hulinda maji,hutupa vitu vinavyotokana na misitu (kwa mfano,mbao, dawa, matunda na vingine) vinavyo ughalimkubwa na huruhusu mimea na wanyama wengitofauti kuishi. Hata hivyo inakatwa kwa mwendokasi; hectare milioni ishirini kila mwaka. Nusu yawanaoishi kwa hii dunia hutumia misitu kama nishati,hata hivyo watu kama milioni mia moja hawananishati tosha kutumia kwa matumizi madogomadogo.Sababu za ukataji misituUkataji miti hufanyika wakati mimea inakatwaili kufungua shamba kutumika kwa njia nyinginekama kufungua shamba ili liweze kulimwa au kwamatumizi mengine kama kutumika kama kuni,kutengeneza matofali, kukausha samaki, kukaushamajani chai, kujenga na kama mbao.Kuzoroteka kwa shamba lenye msitu ni wakatimsitu unakuwa na miti ya aina chache na unashindwakuyavumilia mabadiliko yanayokuja kwa sababu yautumizi na usimamizi mbaya (kwa mfano, miti mizeeinapokatwa, ikiachwa midogo, ama aina fulaniikikatwa yote, hadi inapotea kutoka msituni, amamsitu unalishwa wanyama zaidi ya inavyoruhusiwa,hadi miti inashindwa kukua badala ya iliyokufa).Ukataji miti na uharibifu wa shamba lenye msitumwingi hutokana na kutokuwepo kwa ujuzi kuhusuthamani kamili ya miti.Wakati mwingine, thamani ya miti yaweza kuwainajulikana lakini umaskini na kutambulika kusiosahihi kuhusu ukosefu wa lingine la kufanyaUmeletewa na Dorothy Naitorekufanya vivyo hivyo.

Tunaweza kufanyeje?Shida zinazojitokeza kufuatilia ukataji wamisitu. Mmomonyoko wa Udongo:Ukosefu wamiti ya kufunika ardhi na mizizi huacha udongohatarini na huruhusu mmomonyoko wa udongo.Ukosefu wa rasili mali ya msitu tunayohitaji:kukata miti huharibu mahali pa wanyama pa kuishi,hupunguza viumbe hai/ bioanuwai, hutoa rasili maliya chakula na dawa na huongeza ushindani ili kupatavifaa vyz ujenzi. Watu wanahitajika kutembea mbalizaidi ili kupata kuni, na bei za bidhaa zinazotokamisituni zinapanda juu sana.Ukataji misitu unamaanisha ukosefu wa faidanyinginezo za miti: miti hupunguza upepo,uhifadhi unyevu, huongeza hewa safi hewani, nahuongeza virutubisho udongoni. Kwa hivyo bila mitihali ya anga ya mahali hapo itakuwa kavu zaidi nakuongeza hatari ya mafuriko, mmonyoko wa udongounaosababishwa na upepo, kupunguzwa kwa rutubaya udongo na kupunguzika kwa usafi wa hewa.Tunaweza kufanyeje ili kuzuia ukataji wamiti?Kuanzisha vitalu vya miti na kukuza miti ya kupandana kupeana au kuuza miti kwa wanajamii. Twafaakutia moyo wengine kupanda miti pia, na kujiungana TIST!Tumia meko ya kuokoa nishati, ambayo hutumiakuni na makaa chacheTumia nishati badala inapowezekana (kwamfano, joto la jua, machujo ya mbao, maganda yakahawa, nyasi, magugu, mabaki ya mimea, taka zawanyama).

KISWAHILI VERSIONKujengana: Msikose baraka ya Kikundi chenu.Kujengana ni sehemu muhimu sana ya mkutanowa kila wiki wa kikundi chako. Inasema katikaAefeso 4:15,16 kuwa tujengane hadi tuwe nautimilifu wa Kristu. Kila mtu katika Kikundi chako chaTIST huleta talanta na zawadi zake maalum kikundini.Moja ya vitu vya kuajabisha inayotokea katika kikundikidogo ni kujua, kugawana na kutumia talanta hizoulizopewa na Mungu.Kujengana ni njia moja ya kufanya hizo talantakuonekana na kutumika. Kuna sehemu mbili zaKujengana:• Kabla ya ombi la kufunga, kila mtu katika kikundiaseme kitu kizuri maalum ambacho kiongoziamefanya katika mkutano huo. Kwa mfano,alitabasamu, aliweka masaa, alifanya mipangomizuri, aliwatia nguvu wanakikundi wotekuongea, alinisalimu na alinifanya nijisikienimekaribishwa, alisema kitu kilichokuwakinaendelea vizuri katika mkutano ama katikakazi iliyokuwa ikifanywa na kikundi, na kadhalika.Kila mwanakikundi anahitajika kusema kitutofauti. Hili si la kujichagulia. Kila mtu ajengekiongozi wa utumishi. Vikundi vingine hujengahata msaidizi wa kiongozi.• Kuongezea, ikiwa mtu ameona zawadiiliyoonyeshwa na kiongozi, mwanakikundianaweza pia kusema ni zawadi ipi.Kwa kupitia uongozi wa mzunguko, kila wiki kiongozimpya hujengwa. Kupitia Kujengana, tunatiana nguvukati yetu kuhusu vitu vizuri alivyofanya kiongozi wawiki hiyo mkutanoni na talanta alizoonyesha mtu huyo.Kujengana pia ni njia ya kujua kuangalia vitu vizurikuwahusu watu halafu kuvisema. Sote twahitajikufunza ndimi zetu kusema yaliyo mazuri. Kuongezea,kikundi chote hujua ni nini kikundi kinafikilia ni muhimukatika kiongozi mtumishi. Viongozi wanaofuatawatafaidika kupitia waliyosikia katika Kujenganakuhusu viongozi waliopita na kujua ni nini muhimukatika kuwa kiongozi.Kujibu wakati wa kujengana, kiongozi wa wikihiyo atasema, “Asante.” baada ya kila mwanakikundikusema taarifa nzuri iliyo maalum. Hakuna kujadilianakuhusu vipi kungekuwa kuzuri zaidi ama tofauti. Maranyingi, mtu huyo hufurahi anapoambiwa kuhusumambo mazuri aliyofanya wakati wa mkutano. Wakatimwingine, huwa tunajua mambo kujihusu ambayohatukuwa tunajua!Kujengana husaidia kiongozi wa siku hiyo kujuatalanta zake na kuzidi kuzitumia. Kujengana pia husaidiakikundi kidogo kwa sababu wana kikundi wotehuboresha uongozi wao wa utumishi wanapozidikujifunza.Kujengana ni baraka mara mbili!Tunashukuru kwa sababu ya mvua tosha msimuhuu, lakini tukumbuke kupalilia mimea yetu.Kupalilia kuna umuhimu kwa sababu hizi:1. Mimea yako yahitaji maji, virutubisho vyaudongo na mwanga ili ikue kinguvu. Kama kunamagugu yatashindana na mimea yako kupatavitu hivi. Magugu yatatumia virutubisho vyaudongo na maji ambayo mimea yako inahitaji.Matokeo ni kuwa mimea yako itakuwa dhaifuna yaweza kushindwa kuishi.2. Kama eneo lako halijatolewa magugu, waduduwatavutwa kwa eneo hilo. Wadudu wanawezakuharibu na kuua mimea yako. Kwa hivyomagugu yalivyo chache, ndivyo nafasi ya nyokana wadudu kuwa inapungua.Hapa zipo baadhi ya faida za kupalilia shamba lako:• Mimea Hukua haraka zaidi kwani maguguhayachukui virutubisho na maji kutoka kwaudongo.• Mimea itakuwa yenye nguvu na ikue kwa urefukwa wakati mfupi• Mimea yaweza kupata mionzi ya jua inayohitajibila kuzuiliwa• Mimea haijawekwa wazi ksz magonjwa mengi.• Mimea imezuiliwa kutokana na kuenezwa kwamoto• Mashamba yasiyo na magugu yanaonyeshakuwa vikundi vidogo vinayadumisha na ni mfanokatika mradi wa TIST. Hili litawavutia watuwengi kuja na kuona kazi yenu.Ukishapalilia eneo hilo, hakikisha umetoa magugukutoka shambani. Ukiyaacha magugu yaliyokufakaribu na mimea, bado yanaweza kuwavutia waduduna magonjwa ambayo yanaweza kuharibu mimeayako. Unaweza kutumia magugu kutengenezambolea kwa sababu joto la mtengano wa magugulaweza kuua mbegu za magugu na baadhi yamagonjwa.Kumbuka kupalilia mashamba yenye miti yako pia!6
