In our 14th issue of ELNEWS, we Join the rest of the Kenyan fraternity in strongly condeming the recent spate of violence we have witnessed and call for a lasting solution to the stalemate in our country. Let us all raise our voices in calling for a speedy and peaceful resolution to this situation so we can all resume our normal business.
 
GREAT Places to Visit

We have added new sites to our collection. This time round we are particularly focussing on sites with a community oriented development initiative as part of our new efforts to document and promote community-based tourism. Check out examples below:
Caprinno Nguuru Project
Dedan Kimathi Kakamega Forest
   
   
Caprinno Goat Milk Processing Plant
Visit an interesting plant in Nkubu, Meru that is processing and packaging milk from goats reared by the community.
Nguuru Gakirwe Water Project
An amazing work of ancient Italian engineering technology built in 1989 that never breaks down and continues to provide a source of water mainly for irrigation and domestic use by the locals.
Dedan Kimathi Monument
Erected in the heart of the city, the monument is a tribute to field marshal Dedan Kimathi of the Mau Mau fame.
Kakamega Forest
The Kakamega forest is one of those rare sites in western Kenya where you get an equally rare opportunity to see nature in its undisturbed state. The forest is recognised as a world heritage site.
 
SHARE Your Kenyan Experience
In our efforts to improve the interactivity of our website, we have launched yet another new discussion forum alongside our GuestBook system where people with common interests can register and immediately begin to share their opinions, experiences and a host of other content on Kenya.

Be a part of this initiative especially now with the on-going post-election violence threatening to dent our tourism image that we have worked so hard to build and give a positive report based on your own uplifting experiences. Click here: http://www.enchanted-landscapes.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl
 
Preach a Message of PEACE
Kenya's finance minister estimates the loss due to the on-going post-election skirmishes at US$ 1 billion. Other sources say this may be an under-estimation. The Tourism sector alone has suffered a staggering US$93 million due to huge flight cancellations. Inflationary pressure arising from artificial shortages in supplies of basic commodities contnues to hit hard.

Investors are wary of the country as a strategic investment hub - the Nairobi Stock Exchange bears witness to this. All these only go to enhance the grim picture that is presently our country. The social loss is even greater.

We all therefore, have an obligation to preach peace in our own small ways. At Enchanted Landscapes® we want to do this the best way we know - through information dissemination. Let there be peace Kenya!

It sounds like a fable or a fairy tale. The main characters are an orphaned baby hippopotamus and a 130-year-old giant tortoise. The hippo was rescued from a natural disaster of biblical proportions, and the tortoise was meant to be dinner a century ago. But the story of Owen the hippo and Mzee the tortoise is absolutely true...
 
In Unbowed, Wangari Maathai offers an inspiriting message of hope and prosperity through self-sufficiency. We witness her numerous run-ins with the brutal Moi government. She makes clear the political and personal reasons that compelled her, in 1977, to establish the Green Belt Movement, which spread from Kenya across Africa and which helps restore indigenous forests while assisting rural women by paying them to plant trees in their villages...
