Ubuntu's Kenya Perma-Cultural Tour is in Full Swing
Visiting 13 sustainable projects across Kenya with the Spirit of Ubuntu!
We have just launched Phase 3 of the Ubuntu World Tour. Since we’re not your typical filmmakers this phase of the tour is different than the film festival circuit and private screenings that we have been hosting around the world.
Even before The Spirit of Ubuntu Documentary was completed we had gone back to Kenya for a promotional music tour as well as visiting some friends. That turned into learning more about permaculture, agriculture, agroforesty and regeneration. The intent at that time was to recruit
Van Reenen, The Forest Farmer, to help others who were growing food as well as Lilian Muthui of Compassion Teenage Mothers who is featured in the Spirit of Ubuntu Documentary.
Now we are embarking on a tour across Kenya to visit 13 sustainable projects led by individuals and organizations. I keep saying “we are stronger together when we come together in the Spirit of Ubuntu”.
Our syntropic agroforestry experts Roland Van Reenen and his wife Esther “Dee J Essy” are joining us for our tour. One of the reasons why I have Roland as my number one expert by my side is seeing the work he has done all over the world. We could use his skills back in America where we live in SoCal. Dry climate and little water. He has proven solutions that work and can save us back in California.
Check out this video from last year when we were in Kenya visiting one of the sites Roland worked on.
We had spent some time with them last year when Pato was doing his promotional tour from his hit song “Go Pato”. Apparently the song became a huge hit last year and everyone recognizes the song and even him everywhere we went. People out of nowhere would just say “Go Pato”.
I’m excited to see everything but one thing that really is sticking out for me is Igati Community’s mission for the launch of the “one million beehive project” at Timau Stadium in Timau, Kenya north of Nairobi.
Led by Alfred Gitonga Ndumba, Igati Mission has so much going on: rabbit and poultry farming, dragon fruit farming and the list just goes on and on!

Ubuntu to the world!
What a whirlwind tour! Thank you for taking us virtually along for this exciting adventure. I can't wait to see more pictures and learn more about the projects you are visiting.
Wait till you see what we’re witnessing on this tour! There was a woman that we met today whose work is soooo impressive that I believe should be implemented in schools around the world. I asked her to develop a template that can be re-created. Women’s empowerment can lead the way for a better future! ❤️🙏🏽
