“WASTE WALK”
VISITS MBONEA HIGH SCHOOL.
The international project on environment conservation known
as WASTE WALK is a group of people from Germany that moves to different places
educating and influencing people on nature conservation. Their movement in
Africa began on the 04.08.2015 in Moshi, Tanzania and arrived at Mbonea in
Dar-es-salaam on 04.09.2015.
Through their discussions with the
students from Mbonea High School, the members from the WASTE WALK explained
that their main aim is to build a better and suitable recycling system in
Tanzania. They also influenced the students on conservation of nature by
elaborating on the effects of pollutants especially plastic materials.
“Germany has a better recycling
system compared to the one in Tanzania but also has a larger quantity of
plastic usage,factories and more machines which also pollute the
environment.”said one of the member from WASTE WALK. The actual difference is
that most European and developed countries like Germany, there is a lot of
social pressure against littering in the environment while in Tanzania, there
is no such pressure against improper waste disposal.
The WASTE WALK encouraged the
students to provide education to other people who are not yet educated on the
importance of nature.They also advised on reduction of the use of plastic
materials.
THE GERMAN TANZANIAN CLUB
CREATES NEW PROJECTS.
The German Tanzanian Club has
created different projects in which the students will get to do different
activities which involve,creating a school magazine,speech writing,
photography,environmental conservation and so on.
The club has created its own
magazine which will display news not only from inside the school but also from
outside the school in order to inform the students about different events that
happen inside and outside.
Speech writing involves composing
speeches which will eventually be read in front of the students .The aim of
this is to be able to improve English speaking in the school. It will also help
in improving the student’s confidence as they deliver the speech in front of the
school.
Photography will enable the
students to take picture which will enable the German Tanzanian club to generate income. The project
on environmental conservation involves collecting mainly plastic waste in order
to properly recycle them in the recycling company.
The club also offers chances for
students who are interested to join the German Tanzanian club by undertaking
the speech interview.

ELEPHANTS
THE LARGEST ANIMAL ON LAND
Elephants
form deep family bond and live in tight matriarchal family groups of related
families called herbs. The herb is led by the oldest and often largest female
in the herb called matrich. Herb consist of 8-100 individuals depending on
terrain and family size. When a calf is born it is raised and protected by a
whole matriarchal herb. Males leave the family unit between the ages of 12-15
and may lead solitary lives or live temporary with other males. Elephant are
really intelligent animals and have memories that serve matriarchs well during
dry seasons when they needed to guide their herbs sometimes for ten of miles to
watering holes that they remember from the past. They also display signs of
joy, anger, and play also grief. Recently discoveries have shown the elephants
can communicate over long distance by producing a sub-sonic rumble that can
travel over the ground faster than sound through air. Other elephants receive
the message through a sensitivity skin on their feet and trunks. It is believed
that this is how potential mates and social groups communicate. Elephant’s diet
is grasses, leaves, bamboo, barks, and roots. Also they eat crops like banana,
sugarcane, which were grown by farmers. Adult’s elephants eat 300-400 lbs food
per day. Also the elephants reproduction system is that mating season, this is
mostly during the rainy season its gestation period it takes 22 months and its
little size is 1 calf unfortunately if they are twins it usually happen rarely.
Also the calves weight between 200-250 lbs at birth. At birth a calf has no
muscles at all therefore it will suckle
through its mouth. It takes several months for a calf to remain full control of
a trunk. In population at the turn of 20 century they were a few millions
elephants and about 100,000 Asian elephants today they are estimated elephant
450,000 to 700,000 African elephants
and between 35,000 – 40,000 wild Asian elephants. Also the height 5-14 fit at
shoulders [male]. Female of all sub spices are smaller than mass. Length up to
30 fit trunk to tail and also weight is 6,000- 15,000 lbs [males]. Life span is
up to 70 years. Generally as you read this you have to know that tusks when are
hacked off its warm body to fuel an illegal international ivory trade worth
millions of dollar. So poachers should reduce to decrease the number of
elephants due to tusks.
