My Strengths

One day when we went out with my father to go look for our cattle, we were charged by an elephant. He stood on his ground, advised me to not run away and he clapped his hands and asked me to join him to make more noise and we shouted saying please go back we are not here to harm you we are just passing by. The elephant stopped and then diverted away. Then I realized the best way to communicate with nature is not harming it but to try to connect and know how to live with it.

When we were at primary school we used to walk 7km to the next village where there was a school. We used to encounter animals, especially elephants. I remember we were charged by an elephant and I quickly remembered how my father handled the situation and did the same. Our lives were saved and my fellow students had an experience and got a new idea on how to handle this kind of situation.

My dream is to share this with the local kids. Having more conservationists in the community will really help to restore and keep nature as natural as it is.
