The Green Gold of Lake Victoria

kisumu; Kenya: Our very own daughter once said that Mother Nature is generous but very unforgiving. She went ahead and bagged a Nobel Peace Prize from her environmental and political activism. She might have gone from our sights but three years on, her actions, words and memories are still clear in our eyes, loud in our ears and vivid in our minds. She still motivates a couple of us.

Talking of the unforgiving nature of Mother Nature, it is worrying to imagine the number of lashes we are queuing for, after all that we have done and continue to do. We annoy her every second of our lives. Everything around us is just a shame. From garbage to deforestation and poluted water sources. Everything looks pathetic.
