[Sosfbay-discuss] Documentary on Reforestation in Kenya Saturday 1:30 pm Fremont Library

[Brian Good]

   Planting trees for fuel, shade, and food started Wangari Maathai down the path that reclaimed her country's land from 100
years of deforestation, provided new sources of food and income to
rural communities, gave previously impoverished and powerless women a
vital political role in their country, and ultimately helped to bring
down Kenya's twenty-four-year dictatorship and bring Maathi the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for “her contribution
to sustainable development, democracy and peace.”  



 Discussion will be led by Tabitha Kanogo PhD, University of Nairobi, currently Professor of history at UC Berkeley. 

Saturday, November 21 at 1:30 p.m.





Fremont Main Library, 2400 Stevenson Blvd at Paseo Padre, Fremont
  
There's a Stevenson exit on 880--it's three or four miles south of the Dumbarton Bridge exit.  Head for the eastern hills about two miles.  The library's on the right, just after you cross Paseo Padre.
