The Nov. / Dec. Roots Meeting 2003 is ended and six new Children’s Meeting places has been established in the Lake Victoria Region. The Children’s Meeting Place will be connected to Children’s Garden, areas of trying out new ideas in the spirit of open minds and playful daring – just the way children always have explored themselves and their environment.
Now we are preparing for the International Roots Meeting, the gathering around the “ Mother Tree” in the Children’s Meeting Place at the grounds of the UN in Nairobi 2004. Additional reports about the 2nd Preparatory Roots Meeting will be added on this page.
