In 1992 Friends of Africa International supported Friends of Conservation’s Maasai Mara Conservation School Project. This program actively encourages the participation of both children and their educators in conservation activities. These programs are being developed and implemented in conjunction with Wildlife Clubs of Kenya. While a number of schools in Kenya’s Maasai Mara are targeted for this program, we appropriated $3,000 for two schools ($1500 per school) to help establish this program at the Talek and Kawai Schools.
Friends of A
frica International Co-Founder and Chairman Bonnie Bishop, Co-Founder and then President Scarlett Adams, and International Advisory Board member and former Executive Vice-President of Friends of Conservation, John Webley attended the presentation of the donation to the Talek School in 1992.
In June of 2001, Scarlett Adams and the Friends of Africa International Board returned to the Mara to visit the Nkoilale School and leave a supply of books, tools and school materials for their Conservation Club Program.
While in Kenya, Scarlett visited also with Friends of Conservation Staff Simon Nkoitoi and Helen Gibbons, FOC Programmes Coordinator, and discussed other ways that Friends of Africa International might work with Friends of Conservation on different projects.
