Call to action

Friends, We at KCDN are keen to move our Environmental Management Programme to the next level. We have been organizing a yearly clean up exercise in Komarock which we have upgraded to a City wide clean up exercise inNairobi. We will be hosting this every month in partnership with the City Council of Nairobi and all Friends of Nature. We recently hosted The Great Nairobi Walk against Corruption on 22nd October 2010 in Nairobi and again, we partnered with the CCN, Kenya Anti Corruption Commission, the Provincial Administration, the Kenya Police, Administration Police, Transparency International and many other players. We are keen on walking the talk against corruption by mobilizing the country to join in the fight. These are issues we are holding to heart and this is how we will be conducting the Initiatives; Every 3rd Saturday of the Month, we will be calling the people of East Africa into action. We will be appealing to them to come out and help clean their localities and surroundings in a proactive manner that needs no supervision. The clean ups will be preceded by tree planting sessions that is aimed to sour the tree cover in the whole of East Africa.  Thereafter, we will be hosting discussions and educational forums that will invite us to take personal responsibility over issues that affect us like the environmental degradation does. We want to invite all Friends of Nature to join us in this programme. We know it will not be easy, but we also know that we can actually do it. We are in discussions with Organisations and Institutions whom we have approached for partnerships and as soon as we are finalized, we will post the details in our blog. In the meantime, we want all of us to take personal interests to make this a reality. Our children will be there to thank us for the time we lived on this planet earth, for we shall have something to bequeath them. This is a call to action and support. Please reach out to the undersigned and help move this thinking forward. Peace and blessings. Odhiambo T Oketch, CEO KCDN Nairobi, PO Box 47890-00100, Nairobi Kenya.
