Kenya Students Ramp up Tree-Planting Effort
May 8, 2012Despite torrential downpours and muddy grounds, nearly 200 students from the Aga Khan Academy, Nairobi joined 26 staff members of Serena Hotel and about 30 workers supported by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports to plant 2,600 tree seedlings on April 27. At this event, held at the Professor Wangari Maathai Peace Institute of the University of Nairobi, Kabete Campus, the participants enthusiastically dug into the work. What’s more, the students insisted they would raise the funds to cover the cost of the seedlings purchased.
