What a friend we have in a tree, the tree is the symbol of hope, self improvement and what people can do for themselves.
Wangari MaathaiOnce people see that you improve you life if you are educated, then education becomes a valuable tool and people want it.
Wangari MaathaiOne of the reasons why we started the Green Belt Movement is to work with these ordinary peasant farmers so as to educate them that, despite the fact that they are poor, it is in their interest to protect the soil that they have, to protect the forest they have, to protect the land that they have, because if they don't do it, things can be only worse tomorrow for them for them and for their children.
