ENVIRONMENTAL AND EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS
The Colobus Trust hold environmental workshops for the Diani community, as well as educational workshops for schools and students of all ages.  In Q1 and Q2 2003 alone, the Trust has hosted over 50 schools to the Colobus Cottage.  We provide part- or whole-day programmes, viewing media, EcoTours, primate-oriented activities and games - free of charge for all schools.  The Trust has lesson and work-plans available for many different age groups and can work with your group to provide transportation to and from school and work out the best ways to easily accommodate your needs. 

Meetings have been held by the Trust bringing together hoteliers, residents and Trust workers to discuss long-term waste management options in Diani.  Lack of effective and environmentally responsible waste disposal mechanisms encourages the animals to become dependent upon humans, and so attempts to clean up the dumps in Diani may alleviate the animal's dependency on hotel grounds.  The Colobus Trust carried out 29 environmental and educational workshops and hosted over 800 children to the Trust during 2002.  During the first 6 months of 2003, the Trust has held over 50 educational days for children in Kenyan schools.
