"In the process, the participants discover that they must be part of the solutions. They realize their hidden potential and are empowered to overcome inertia and take action. They come to recognize that they are the primary custodians and beneficiaries of the environment that sustains them." Wangai Maathai.
The vision and work of Wangai Maathai in the creation of the Greenbelt Movement is one of the great stories of our time. I lived and worked in Zimbabwe for 2 years and I observed and was inspired by the significant role African women offer in their families and communities. When we, when I, realize that I can be part of the solution, this places me/us on a new path. This question -- how can I be part of the solution -- in this political and legal chaos -- is one I struggle to understand in this tumultuous time. I am grateful for the inspiring example of Wangai Maathai.
