The Lake Victoria Sunset Birders need some help

A good friend and colleague at Lake Victoria Sunset Birders (LSVB) based in Kisumu in western Kenya has recently been in touch.
He writes:
Dear David,
Hope this finds you ok.
Has been long, thought you'll be in Kenya sometime early this year so you could pay us a visit in vain.
I have attached a few pictures to help you understand some of our new approaches to conservation in the lake victoria region so you could help.
EcoSanitation Concept
this is an approach we are ussing to prevent the alarming pollution levels in Dunga swamp through human waste and the croping up of more farmlands.
EcoSan toilets-as they are popularly called are toilet units which are constructed purposely in areas around Dunga where loose soil cannot allow for sinking of pit latrines thus causing major pollution problems in the wetland. the waste here is disinfected using ash and then used as manure on kitchen gardens (another new concept in the area).through these two ideas, we are managing to pull people out of creating large farms in the wetland at the same time curbing the pollution thus protecting the bird area.one family has completely stopped farming in the wetland through this project.
This is a project that was supported by Friends of Lake Victoria (OSIENALA), a local NGO which is an LVSB partner.

A Communication Media for Schools near Dunga swamp
we have also started an environmental magazine for 10 schools around Kisumu town through which we hope schools will start networking to advocate for environmental conservation in the town thus involving young people in the town in environmental conservation.
OUR REQUEST
we currently are in need of partnerships that can help sustain these programs.this could be not only in terms of finances but most importantly linkages that would provide avenues for knowledge and experience sharing.
If you have any knowledge of small groups in the UK or elsewhere that might have not necessarily similar projects but have related interests and any donor interested in supporting such programs would you link us up or sent us contacts so we see what we can do.
we also believe this new approach will inspire more young people to join LVSB initiatives thus promoting conservation in the region.we have seen what experience sharing through exchange programs can do to conservation through young people that is why we are trying to expand this so that those who come behind us experience what we did to bring LVSB to this level.Hope to hear from you.Thanks. more about LVSB on our website at http://www.lakevictoriasunsetbirders.org/.

As you can read LVSB are doing some very valuable and worhwile conservation work in this reion of Kenya. This is not the 'big game' conservation that demands most of the headlines here in the West but grass roots stuff.
If you feel you would like to contribute in any small way then do let me know. Drop me a line to david@changingworlds.co.uk. I am particularly interested in finding help for the schools project - this really would be a great volunteer experience for the right type of person.
