Olasiti Birding Club - cycling and birding excurtion


Dear all!

This is Zenan, a professional guide and a program manager for the Olasiti Orphans Center.

I'm in vacation this month, would like to share the little I have and to envite children and any interested person to participate on cycling and birding excution 7-10 days to Manyara region.We expect to do the great species count [flora and founa]on lake Burunge and on the Magara escarpments & forest.We dont use car support, we cary everything on bicycles and rely on our own land survival skills.This is our fourth charming and adventurous experdition.Around 10 orphans and vulnarable children from Olasiti are going to participate. We expect to cover around 500kms.3-4 days ride and 3-6 days excution in the forest.We expect the unexpected and we perceive any natural challenge as part of our life.
Our activities there will be birding and environmental studies.[ We will be stoping after each 50kms ride and do a 500m radious species count and we will observe best and bad practices done by different ethnic groups.I the final we will report.

We will plant tree seedlings if there will be good weather to schools and
> around people's homes.Once we get back we will plant tree seedlings to our homes too.[If conditions are favourable ie good weather]



Those who are not members of the Olasiti Birding Club needs to contribute for their own living expenses and emergency.People with abnomal health conditions are welcome but will be prohibited or given a limit practice to participate.We mostly need birders and specialized guides, wildlife managers or biologists,geologist and any related field to participate and share their experience voluntarly. [ If we can have a specialized Taxanomist on Botany we will appreciate!]

If some of you would like to participate please email us for more informations.

Cheers!

Zenan
