God Firmly in Charge; Successful event

Friends,
We have arrived in Eldoret safely, only that the Minister for Roads MUST surcharge the road contractor who did the road section just before Timboroa up to Burnt Forest.
I thought the Road contractors had measurable standards for constructing roads. The patch just before Timboroa until you reach Burnt Forest is a clear study of how public funds are wasted in projects that basically show us that someone is sleeping on the job.
Back to our main even of today; Tree Planting at Ngong Hills.

Friends, we were at a loss Friday evening on how we were going to transport the many volunteers that had expressed interest in joining us at Ngong Hills to help plant trees. Amazingly, we had 5 buses and it proved to us once more that God is Firmly in Control.
We must thank the following groups for providing us with transport;
  1. Imani Children Home
  2. Express Connections Ltd
  3. Kenya Wildlife Services
  4. Daystar University and
  5. St Pauls University.
We also want to thank the close to 1,000 volunteers who joined us from;
  1. Nairobi Metrolitan Development Ministry
  2. Imani Children Home
  3. KCDN
  4. MacMedia Africa
  5. Kibera Youth Consortium
  6. Chiromo Environmental Awareness Club- UoN
  7. The Scripture Union
  8. Kenyatta University Environmental Club
  9. SoS Technical
  10. Chini Ya Mnazi
  11. Blessed Youth Group
  12. Africa Youth Initiative on Climate Change
  13. Jomo Kenyatta University Students
  14. 350.org
  15. Global Youth Festival
  16. Daystar University Environmental Initiative Club
  17. Rivers of Peace
  18. St Paul University
  19. St James Dam School- Kiserian
  20. Fly 540 staff
  21. Kenya Wildlife Services staff and many more.
We will give a comprehensive list of those who participated on Monday as we post the photos.
I want to sincerely thank all those who made time to help make a difference. We are doing this for Mother Kenya. Let us all join hands and help make a difference.
I must thank the management and pupils of Imani Children Homes for the kind of resilience they showed us. I must thank Mr. Limo- an Assistant Director at Nairobi Metropolitan Development Ministry for having made time to be with us. I must thank the KCDN Team ably led by Mr. Sam Olendo- a Board Member, Florence Kanyua and Evelyn for joining us at the site.
Lastly, I want to sincere also thank the students from the Daystar University Environmental Initiative Club for inviting me as your Chief Guest during your function of last evening at Bonds Garden. Please find herein enclosed the thoughts that I shared with you on 'Environmental stewardship towards sustainable development'.
It is my hope that you will find this refreshing.
A Clean Kenya Starts With Me.
