Dear Calleb, Dear Friends,

We will be joining our Team Members inn Eldoret on the same date- 21st May 2011, for a massive clean-up at Huruma Estate on the same date and then proceed for tree planting at Baharini Dam in Wareng on the same date.

I want to encourage you and Kibera Youth Consortium to continue with your programme. We also want to encourage all Friends of Nature across Kenya to join hands and help in the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign every 4th Saturday of the Month.

But this does not stop any groups from cleaning their neighbourhoods at the most opportune time for them.

The KCDN Team is in Eldoret for a series of meetings with the key stakeholders. We visited Huruma Estate today in the company of Mr. Sam Olendo- KCDN, Mr. Paul Lelei- Chairman- Middle Sosiani Water Resources Users Association, Mr. David Busienei- the Secretary General- Centre for Community Dialogue and Development and Mr. Rambo- the Treasurer- Area Development Committee- Kapyemit Ward.

The place needs action and it was a sad affair seeing sewer water draining into the Water Treatment Plant at River Sosiani. We took photos and we will post as soon as we are back in Nairobi.

We then went to Baharini Dam in Wareng County where we were hosted by Mr.Tim Maswaye at the Eldoret Inner Harbour Resort. Tim is doing a wonderful job at the Dam and it is good the community and the Wareng County Council members will be joining to help plant 2,500 seedlings that have been donated by Eldoret Municipal Council- 1,000 seedlings and Kenya Commercial Bank- 1,500 seedlings.

To crown our day, we meet with Big Ted, yes, Big Ted, Miss Kenya- Natasha Metto, Stevo- Mr. Steve Nyabwa of Tusker Project Fame. We discussed with Big Ted the possibilities of working together in the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign and we will be meeting to discuss further.

We were happy with the keen interest Big Ted took in this.

We have reached out to many players in Eldoret and on 5th May 2011, we are meeting stakeholders to help drive the process forward.

As we wish all Kenyans a Happy Labour Day, we want to invite each and everyone of us to take personal initiative and help clean your immediate neighbourhoods.

If it is to be, it is up to me. A Clean Kenya Starts With me. A Peaceful Kenya is my Responsibility.

Peace and blessings,
