Fondes Amandes Community Re-Forestation Project (FACRP)

This request for creation has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there.


The Fondes Amandes Community Re-Forestation Project (FACRP) is a community base agro-forestry project that started in 1982 by a group of farmers living in the Fondes Amandes Watershed. The seeds for the FACRP were sown in by the late Tacuma Jaramogi and wife Akilah Jaramogi current Managing Director of the project.

In 1991, with the intervention of the Tropical Re-leaf Foundation, the then WASA Chairman Mr. Imtiaz Hosein planted a ceremonial tree to signify his approval for the FACRP to continue its conservation efforts on 15 acres of WASA reserve land situated in the Fondes Amandes Watershed.

The Project’s initiatives were to halt the degradation of the Fondes Amandes Watershed through the practises of Agro-Forestry activities such as: Tree planting, cutting fire traces developing proper drainage and terracing and the introducing of hillside farming, intercropping with fruit and hard wood trees.

FACRP has since grown from strength to strength formalising a Management Committee and expanded its membership to other members of the community. The aim is to help address some of the social ills that are affecting the Fondes Amandes Community and by extension the country. 

The Management Committee over the years developed several Modules which helped FACRP focus on its project’s goals and helped address some social issues within the community.  These Modules includes:

Organic gardening/permaculture Clean Tree Organic Nursery Community Eco-Tourism Forest fires prevention Tree planting Community recycling/composting Craft and cottage industry Music and culture and community empowerment Fondes Amandes Community Re-forestation Project’s aim is to conserve the St. Ann’s watershed, using ecological restorative methods; beginning at the foot hill of the Fondes Amandes Valley aiming at reaching the naked degraded ridge of Chancellor hill.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE5 • To encourage community development and create opportunities for employment for the Fondes .Amandes community • To promote the development of sustainable, responsible eco-tourism In the St Ann’s watershed • To protect the bio-diversity of flora and fauna In the St Ann’s watershed • To work with other communities and organizations throughout the region who share the same goals to conserve and protect the environment.

The FACRP partners with several educational, social and environmental organizations. The FACRP has partnered with several educational, social and environmental organizations such as:

• Caribbean Network for Integrated Rural development (CNIRD) • Caribbean Natural Recourse Institute (CANARI) • National Institute for Higher Education and Research Science (NIHERS) • The Cotton Tree Foundation • Community development Fund • BP Trinidad and Tobago • Guardian Life Wildlife Trust • Working Women for Social Progress • Baku Productions • Caribbean Forest Conservation Association (CFCA) • Environmental Management Authority • Forestry Division • Fire Services • NEMA • Horticultural Services • Agri.

Toliver Craig, Sr.
Born
Taliaferro Craig

c. 1705
Spotsylvania County, Virginia Colony
Died1795
Woodford County, Kentucky, United States
Cause of deathNatural causes
NationalityAmerican
Other namesTolliver Craig
Occupation(s)Landowner, militia officer and farmer
Known forEarly Kentucky pioneer and landowner; one of the defenders of Bryan's Station
SpouseMary "Polly" Hawkins (c. 1730-1795)
Children12 children
Parent(s)Captain Taliaferro (or John Craig) and Jane Taliaferro

Toliver Craig, Sr. (c. 1704-1795) was an 18th century American frontiersman and militia officer. An early settler and landowner in Kentucky, he was one of the more prominent defenders of Bryan's Station when it was attacked by the British and Shawnee on August 15, 1782. Craig was also an early follower of the Baptist church, he and his family preaching their religious views in the Colony of Virginia during the 1760s and 70s.

His son Toliver Craig, Jr. was an important landowner in Scott and Logan County as well as a representative of the Kentucky state legislature.

Biography

There is some confusion as to the circumstances of his birth. According to traditional accounts, Toliver was reportedly the illegitimate son of an Italian sailor and a widowed Scottish emigre. After her husband John Craig died, Jane Taliaferro left Scotland for the Colony of Virginia accompanied by her two brothers. Sometime during or after the voyage, Taliaferro gave birth to Toliver or Taliaferro Craig in 1704 or 1705. Another version claims Craig was the "posthumous" son of John Craig, he and Jane Taliaferro being married in Italy shortly before his death.

His mother, died soon after his birth and he was raised by his two uncles in Spotsylvania County and became a modest farmer and member of the Virginia militia. In 1730, he married Mary (Polly) Hawkins with whom he would have 12 children. He and his family were largely illiterate, however although he is presumed to have been of good social standing as the Hawkins family were prominent in Virginia society at this time.

During the 1760s, his family embraced the Baptist movement. He and his sons Louis, Elijah and Joseph Craig, became Baptist preachers and were apparently imprisoned by colonial authorities for expressing these views. [1] Eventually moving to Kentucky, his family were living at Bryan's Station when it was attacked by British and Shawnee raiding party under Captain William Caldwell and Simon Girty. He and his wife were some of the more well-known defenders, the 66-year-old Mary Craig volunteering to fetch water outside the fort.

He later became a prominent landowner, purchasing the David Bryan estate from John Bowman, [2] and donated large amounts of land to the Baptist church. He died in Woodford County, Kentucky in 1795.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there.


Born and raised in England, Kate has always loved to travel and learn new languages. When she finished her schooling at 18, she decided to up and leave for Spain for a year. Her first few months there were spent learning Spanish, but she soon fell in love with the country and decided she wouldn't be ready to leave after just a year - so she studied for the relevant exams and got a place at Malaga University to study Translation and Interpreting with English, French and German.

After the first two years of her degree, Kate decided to go and spend some time in France and Germany to really get to grips with those languages. So then came six months in Munich, followed by six months in Paris, working in a variety of media-based jobs. Then it was back home to England, where she'd decided to complete her final year of study. But her feet were soon itching again, and after graduating Kate took up a year-long placement at DW-TV in Berlin. Most of her time was spent in the newsroom, working with the translators. As the placement came to an end, Kate was offered a position as sports anchor on the English news program "Journal". When she's not reporting on the latest sporting events, she enjoys working as a member of the team of translators in Deutsche Welle's newsroom. Kate still loves to travel when she can, the rest of the time, she's enjoying discovering Berlin and all it has to offer. -Cited Source DWTV

Many people believe she is attractive and she presents her programs well. She has done nes reports in Spanish which she speaks fluently and she presents Top Magazine as well as Sports on the Journal.
