RIPOTI NA MPANGO MKAKATI 2020- 2030

DIRA NA DHAMIRA YA KLABU

 

ABOUT THE CLUB

The GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CARE CLUB has been founded by environmental minded young people at St. Alfred’s Rulenge secondary school and was officially inaugurated by the head of school on 20^th September 2012.  This club has been born out of the growing demand for effective conservation programmes.

 

OUR  VISION

THE GECC to be a world class environmental management club that cares to ensure a clean, safe, healthy and conserved  environment for the school community and the globe.

 

OUR MISSION

TO promote environmental management at Rulenge Secondary school, through coordination, facilitation, awareness raising, enforcement, assessment, monitoring and research.

Strategic message:  “God saw all he had made and it was very good”

Motivation:  For the beauty of the earth.

MOTTO:  Making a real difference.

 

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

Human Lives are intimately connected to the environment, their survival and that of the future generations depend on the harmonious relationship with natural elements. Nevertheless, rapid demographic growth, urbanization, poverty and ignorance have resulted in unsustainable farming methods, deforestation, deterioration of aquatic resources and pollution thus upsetting the delicate balance between environmental resources availability and population growth  thus recognizing the crosscutting nature of Enviromental conservation programmes, the need for improved environmental management and for all Tanzanians to participate in the efforts to reverse  the present upward trend of environmental degradation.

Our club was founded to provide technical leadership for the application of environmental practices for sustainable school and community environment. The club strives to help the school community in helping themselves to become self reliant in knowledge, skills, attitudes towards environmental management.

As members in the GECC we have to think critically on how to overcome the environmental challenges that we are facing. The world in enjoying the fruits of critical thinking. We must use the available innovative and creative minds.

Hard working spirit should follow our creative minds. It is possible to achieve if we work hard. Africans are accused of laziness and working as a formality. Then we have chosen not to give up easily.

We must harness almost everything and hence utilize them as much as possible. Globalization has made everything a commodity. We must make use of readily available resources.

We believe hard working spirit is the solution to the problems that exist in our environment.

In the GECC we have people who are fearless and daring. We are not afraid of failure. We are not afraid of defeat and we nurture daring minds.

We need to change weak perception and attitudes. We are supposed to face challenges. The greatest of all to think that we are poor amidist plenty of resources (plenty of land, water, fish, minerals, birds, and wildlife). We must overcome all these obstacles and make this country shine with sustainable development.

In this context, we have thousands new reasons to double efforts unto environmental action. That is why we chose to come together  and organize as people who make a real difference.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION TO THE NEW GEOGRAPHY

The real value of  geography lies in the fact that it helps man to live; it helps man to place himself in the world, to place himself in the world

WHEN WE FOUNDED THE GEOGRAPHY CLUB WE HAD IN MIND the greater vision and we want to ask ourselves how we were going to approach the teaching of the subject so that our students can benefit from it. Given the objective of enabling pupils to understand their environment, physical and human how are the teachers going to present our geography content so that the objective is achieved.

It is like were exploring and revisiting a common teaching-learning principle which we believe is adequate and shows where our geography teaching practice falls short of the objectives expressed in this principle.

Moreover the new approach in teaching Geography makes it a practical or an applied subject in rational development and answers the criticism that sees the subject in rational development and answers the criticism that sees the subject as lacking a purpose and application in everyday life.

Finally we chose to keep searching a systematic approach to planning and teaching of geography through a process of integration of theory and practice which will enable us to achieve our objectives.

What most geographers agree with is that geography is a field science hence that it should be studied through observing, measuring, recording, analyzing and interpreting data of phenomena from the field.

The activities of observing, measuring, recording and interpreting belong to a process, so that one cannot be undertaken independently of   phenomena from the field. The activities of observing, measuring, recording, analyzing and interpreting belong to process, so that one cannot be undertaken independently of the others if they study is to be complete. But in school teaching, this process has not been followed systematically.

The main objective for teaching geography to our students should be to help them develop the ability to identify and solve problems pertaining to their environment. The problems involved may be physical handicaps or intellectual puzzles. Once mwalimu J.K Nyerere saying that we should not teach our students the solutions to our contemporary problems, because by the time they come out our schools, the present problems will have been solved and new ones will have cropped up. Mwalimu wanted teachers to teach their students how to identify and solve problems.

 

In problem solving we have two processes in our thinking and integration of knowledge. In the first process we analyze and describe phenomena in order to establish a pattern. Secondly we explain a problem and suggest solutions. Our strategy for attack is to identify all that we think are contributing factors and measure or count them. Through various techniques of analysis – mapping and correlating, we may end up discovering relationships between the various variables. Thus we find out the why or how of things.

FOR INSTANCE,

We have noticed that a certain village experiences frequent food shortages over years. To solve this problem we may start by measuring or obtaining figures on the productivity of the villagers. Then we will check changes in behavior of the following variables : rainfall, soils land availability villagers’ education and health, storage facilities, varieties of crops crop pests, villager’s marketing attitude and so on in that village. By analyzing our data we may end u finding explaining relationships between these factors and food shortages.

This is then our scientific problem solving method. This is not spontaneously acquired but it is skill which can be developed through training and practice.

One of our objectives in geography is to develop positive attitudes to scientific inquiry for both teachers and students.

New Trends in Geography characterized by extensive use of hypotheses, scientific collection of data, statistical analysis and mathematical model building = (quantitative analysis) has given rise to what is now regarded as the new geography.

1.     SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES PROGRAMME

 

Prepare environmental and conservation themed Events and resources including CDs, DVD, printed matters, etc for educational purposes to bridge the Environmental knowledge gaps,

Mradi huu umejikita katika kuelimisha wadau kwa njia mbali mbali hasa kutumia TEHAMA, michezo, burudani na utamaduni kufikisha ujumbe kwa Jamii.

Aidha tutaandaa kongamano kubwa kushirikisha shule za jimbo chini ya agenda ya mazingira.

2.     LAND USE PLANNING AND CONSERVATION PROJECT.

Mradi huu unahusika na mipango ya uhifadhi hasa uoteshaji na upandaji miti, kupand msitu mpya ekari 10, kubuni teknolojia rafiki kwa mazingira kuokoa msitu, na ufugaji wa nyuki.

Pia kuna umuhimu wa kuandaa sustainable land use plan ya shule. (Mpango endelevu wa matumizi bora ya ardhi ya shule)

3.     ENVIRONMENTAL CARE AND SANITATION PROJECT.

Huu unashughulikia usafi mazingira na maji. Kutakuwa na kampein ya Jivunie  mazingira safi 2014 kampein hii itahusisha mpango wa kugawa maeneo ya kazi kwa ajili ya usafi.

4.     CLUB’S INTERNAL CAPACITY BUILDING STRATERGY.

Huu ni mpango wa kujenga uwezo wa klabu katika kutafiti, kupanga kusimamia rasilimali hasa fedha na kutathimini na kufuatilia. Kukamilisha rasilimali za klabu.

Klabu iwe na uwezo wa kufanya tafiti, kufanya tathmini ya mazingira na ufuatiliaji (environmental monitoring) kwa lengo la kufanya mpango wa uhifadhi  (environmental management plan)

5.     PROTECTION OF LIVELIHOOD RESOURCES AGAINST GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE

Katika mazingira yetu kuna rasilimali lukuki. Zinahitaji kuendelezwa kikamilifu ili kuleta tija. Rasilimali kama maji, ardhi, nguvukazi ya kutosha n.k

Kuibua na kubaini rasilimali na kuziendeleza na kuleta tija. Mradi unajihusisha na ufugaji wa Nyuki, samaki, commercial orchards cum Gardens, Goat and Poutry, pamoja Higher Value Added Cassava (HIVAC)

 

Katika kutekeleza miradi hii tunaomba yafuatayo:
