Wangari Mathaai

It is with sadness that the world learned of Wangari Mathai's Passing.

Her legacy:
The enviorinment, womens rights, social justice among others.

She made our continent proud as the First African Woman to win a Nobel Prize. In her honor, I suggest that for every celebration in your life, plant a tree. Plant a tree when you graduate, get a promotion, have you first child etc. Honor these wonderful occasions by planting a tree - Thats what Wangari would do. In fact, when she learned she had won the Nobel Peace Price, she went out and planted a tree. It is so special to plant a tree because it is always there to remind you of these wonderful experiences we have had on earth.

Thank you Wangari, thank you.
