Children's Environmental Rescue

The environment is currently green with trees, vegetation and what looks like a promising bumper harvest. It is a good time to plant trees but we need guidance. Let us consult so that we plant the most appropriate and profitable trees for maximum benefit. BUT, let us plant even if we don't have land. Potted plants have many benefits too.

⚠️ Parents, guardians and communities in Kenya, please stay alert! ⚠️

Children have been going missing at an alarming rate lately. Some disappear from school, others while playing outside, and many cases never get enough attention. We cannot afford to stay silent anymore.

On Tuesday, someone followed my brother’s son while he was walking home from school. When the boy noticed the man following him, he started running. The man also began chasing him. Out of fear, the child ran into a nearby homestead for safety.

The scary part is that the man stood outside looking for him. But when he saw the boy coming out with two men from the homestead, he quickly ran away and disappeared into a nearby bush.

Another incident happened where I live. Early in the morning, a small car carrying two men and a woman approached school children waiting for the school bus at the gate. They claimed the bus had developed a problem and said they could take some children to school and come back for the others.

Thankfully, one alert mother questioned them and asked why the school had not communicated anything to parents. As they were talking, the actual school bus arrived — and the suspicious car immediately drove away.

Parents, please teach your children:
✔️ Never enter a stranger’s car.
✔️ Run to safe places or crowded homes when in danger.
✔️ Scream loudly and attract attention.
✔️ Report suspicious people immediately.

Schools should also communicate directly with parents in case of any transport changes.

Let us stop assuming “it cannot happen here.”
It is happening.
Let us protect our children together.

Please share this post to create awareness. One alert parent or child could save a life.
