Ms Teresia Kanyenya plants a tree at Komarock

We were privileged to host Ms Teresia Kanyenya of Isiolo at KCDN today.

She arrived at KCDN at about midday and we went to the site which we cleaned last Saturday, and Teresia planted a commemorative tree.

The surprise we got on site is captured on pictures 314 and 316. This is a woman whose house borders the Canal and we found her watering the seedlings that we planted behind her house. That was our greatest joy today.

That is the power of collective responsibility.

Kindly join us to ensure that our dream of a Community Arboretum bears fruit. We have KCDN volunteers on site and it is costing us Kshs 5,000 to maintain the work each day. With the support of Friends like Terry, we know we will Move From Talking to Tasking.

Lastly, I was impressed today when our President Moved From Talking to Tasking at KICC during the fundraisng in aid of the fire victims of Lamu. He said as much; we must Move From Talking to Tasking.

Thank you for your vist to KCDN Terry, and thank you to Mr. President for Moving From Talking to Tasking.

Komarock Community Arboretum

Komarock Community Arboretum 5^th September 2009

On 5^th September 2009, we all converged at Komarock to clean the Komarock Canal and plant trees along the same Canal. And what a show it was? We ware sharing a comprehensive plan of action and report with our strategic partners.

Besides KCDN and the KCDN Team, we had Mr. Robert Mutuma from the Eco Challenge [Total Kenya Ltd], Ms Anne Kagumba, the CAO City Inspectorate, Mr. Reginald Okumu from Tribe Kenya Initiative and formerly, chairman of the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya, Ms Grace Wanjiru, Divisional Commander, City Inspectorate Embakasi Division, Mr. Peter Kariuki, Ward Manager Komarock Ward, Ms Mellen Kinaru, Secretary General Komarock Residents Association, Mr. Elijah Kombo [PhD Talking], Ms Arinolah Elizabeth-Nite, Friends of KCDN and many parents/guardians and children.

On behalf of KCDN, I must thank Total Kenya Ltd for having enabled us to make this day a success. Besides giving us 1,000 seedlings for the event, they gave us Kshs 20,000.00 to enable our logistics. We must also thank Bishop Dr Julius Mbagaya, President of the Baptist Convention for sending to us Kshs 3,000.00, Ms Arinolah Elizabeth-Nite, Kshs 2,000.00, Mr. Otieno R Sungu Kshs 2,000.00 and Mr. Reginald Okumu Kshs 1,000.00.

We must also thank Komarocks Residents Association and the parents in the KCDN Child Support Initiative for turning up in large numbers. We had close to 700 parents in the KCDN Initiative taking part. Special mention must be made of the City Council of Nairobi through the Ward Manager Mr. Kariuki who availed staff and equipment to enable the clean up exercise to be a success.

This was the first step into making the Canal a Community Arboretum. We have a lot in our hands now, and we will appeal to several Friends to come on board and help us. We will engage 10 personnel to ensure that the seedlings are watered and that the grounds are made into what we envisage. This will cost us Kshs 5,000.00 per day, and we only appeal to more Friends, Institutions and individuals, to come on board and help us out. We ware sharing a comprehensive plan of action and report with our strategic partners led by Total Kenya Ltd.

We will invite the companies to take charge of only 100 metres of the canal and help in our efforts at Environmental Conservation. We will also invite willing individuals to help as much as they can.

In the next 6 months we want to show case what partnership can achieve for us, and we invite your support to help turn this mass of a mess into Komarock Community Arboretum. In this appeal, we will work closely with Eco Challenge, Friends of Eco Challenge and the City Council of Nairobi to ensure our dream becomes a reality. This dream includes a well done landscape with trees and golden showers, seats at the Arboretum, which Mr. Reginald Okumu has promised to contribute to, a public toilet, a library and much more.

If you are willing to work with us in this programme, kindly get in touch with us through the Eco Challenge Team at Total Kenya Ltd, or reach out to the undersigned. We make public all the support that we get.

Many thanks to all of you.
