Education and Training Programme
TRAINING OF SCIENTISTS AND TECHNICIANS
Analysis of environmental deteriorating factors show on essential reason of the whole consequence caused by the changes in our environment. More complex scientific research and demonstration seems to be necessary both: for proper decisions concerning all new sources of influences on the environmental quality, as well as for adequate behaviour of each one of us.
It is known that the social structures in this field depends on knowledge of environmental problems as well as methods, and on the individual understanding of the importance of increased personal involvement in a wider cooperation as a condition of improvement of the quality of life. This activity depends on the quality of natural and cultural environment.
Very important seems to be coordination of environmental efforts at all educational levels and out – of - school youth activity, in connection with different practical needs in this field and permanent education of adults.
Unfortunately none of existing educational programmes in the country include enough wide scientific, technological and practical investigation in connection with needs of really integrated practical activities at all levels. Also the education system is not adequate especially concerning preparation on a wide international scale. Yet the efforts are very important and urgent.
As a result only a small percentage of scientists and the youth is actively participating in environmental cooperation. This is as a result of, not adequate educational programmes, information and methods and also inadequate perception of environmental quality. However, the quality of human environment is not efficient because scientific studies are made in a traditional way: they are fragramentary and do not result into integration.
More integrated interdisciplinary studies are necessary, both for better knowledge of the relationship between man and the environment and for methodological verification and incasing efficiency of all kinds of professional and social environmental activities.
THIN supports interdisciplinary research seminars, and post graduate courses preparing young talented scientists and technologists from different disciplines- e.g. from natural, social sciences and techniques – for integrated investigation as well as for cooperation with decision – making man and politics, at all levels – national, sub regional and international. Very important is the connection between theoretical discussions during interdisciplinary seminars and studies during environmental field camps.

Dear Environmentalist,
RE: INTRODUCTION.
I wish to introduce myself. I am Mr. Nahashon Sadat, Information Liaison; Traditional Healthcare Integration Network. Many thanks for the good work you are doing to make the world a better environment for all. Based on mutuality and prompted by common ideology and interests, our organization, Traditional Healthcare Integration Network (THIN) wishes to be considered to join and collaborate with you and other like minded people, to form a strategic network. This approach will provide us with opportunities to penetrate and serve both local and global needs.
Our needs include:
• Opportunities to meet new people
• Have contacts in a wide variety of groups
• Feel we are generally well informed
• Actively share information with those around us
• Stay in close contact with our collaborators and well-wishers
• Regularly attend meetings, training courses and talk to peers (who are majority in informal job market) THIN, through such strategic networks promotes sharing of information and expert knowledge as well as co-working in order to promote common objectives, solve problems and satisfy the expectations and needs of the people.
THIN is a non-profit, non-political development-oriented organization in a developing country, Kenya. THIN promotes traditional knowledge and practices as a vehicle of change in the war against ill-health. This unique initiative aims to integrate education, training and research in various disciplines: primary care, food, nutrition, quality environment, complementary therapies among others. Our strategies are founded on four pillars:
Reducing vulnerability
Improving access to resources
Responding to new technologies while nurturing the old
Making markets work for the poor and disadvantaged.
THIN feels the need to act not only in healthcare issues but also to resolve the problems of abject poverty through education, community development technology & employment creation, promoting the bonds of solidarity and giving science its meaning. THIN’s plans for the future are realistic and address real problems of the real macro-environment. These plans have been developed in consultation with the potential beneficiaries. Our activities depend on means that are essential, accessible and affordable. Although our organization has been registered for seven years now, we are yet to learn many things. We continue to pick up useful ideas to us. While we try as much as possible to see that the poor and well-wishers work and finance much of our activities designed for their benefits, there is always a shortfall. We depend mostly on volunteers. All our objectives do beg for investments and guarantee for sustainability that will give humanity the ultimate peace and happiness. Things will change if we get the necessary support including harnessing resources that exist today in the country and across vast regions of the globe. Sir/Madam, we kindly request you for your personal intervention and proxy in these endeavors. We would also request you to become friends of THIN organization. We feel that you have been motivated after visiting us and listening to our aspirations and needs. You have become our ambassadors to talk to your colleagues, friends, a friend-of-a-friend, humanists, well-wishers, organizations, private sector and researchers among others. You can articulate a large degree of responsibilities and you have the ability to do that job. This is urgent and critical.
Thanking you for your considerations and solidarity.
Yours Faithfully,
Nahashon Sadat
