Subject: Fw: Total Kenya Ltd/Eco Challenge supports KCDN Greening Initiative

Besides giving us 1000 seedlings for the day, Total Kenya Ltd through Eco Challenge have today sent to me Kshs 20,000.00 to help out with logistical arrangements.

We are mobilizing the residents, the children and their parents and we really need to be a float. On behalf of the management at KCDN, I must take on this early opportunity to sincerely thank Total Kenya Ltd and Eco Challenge for this support.

We need airtime, transport and other logistical arrangements.

We had also earlier received Kshs 3,000.00 in support Dr Bishop Mbagaya, and Kshs 2,000.00 from Ms Arinolah for the same course.

This involves all of us, and whosoever feels that he can support us, be free to communicate with the undersigned.

Many thanks as we engage more players to come on board.

Friends,

On 5th September 2009, we will be converging at KCDN offices at 8am to kick start the cleaning exercise on Komarock Canal.

We are pleased to announce that Total Kenya Ltd, through Eco Challenge, will be giving us 1,000 various types of seedling for a start. We will detail all the other forms of support they are giving to us.

City Council of Nairobi has mobilized her staff to join us for the event and they will provide technical support and water for the day. I was called in for an early morning meeting with the PR Department at the City Hall to ensure that the staff at City Hall participate in this exercise the best way they can.

I talked with the Sponsorship Manager at Safaricom and she was optimistic about their participation.

Housing Finance called us this morning and I went in for a meeting with the head of their Public Relations in the evening today. They will get back to me on the level of their support.

Barclays Bank at Haile Selassie called me last week and they are determining their level of involvement.

Together with all Friends of KCDN who have shown willingness to support this initiative, we will converge for the Ministerial address on Environmental Conservation at KCDN at 8am on 5th Sept. The Minister will be invited to address the gathering by the Town Clerk, Mr Phillip Kisia. We will then proceed to the site, and we want to set an ezample of what can be done when the people join hands with institutions that ought to provide these services.

We want to invite as many Corporates to step forward and claim a piece of the cake. They will then show-case what they can do to help make Nairobi a Cleaner place. In the process, they will be supporting our efforts at KCDN to mobilize the people on the need to take care of our environment.

We will give a daily brief on activities from Monday as the D-Day approaches. In the meantime, we are very thankful to all those Friends of KCDN, including the Minister of Environment and Mineral Resources, for having accepted to be part of this noble initiative.

If you are touched by what we are doing, do not hesitate to contact the undersign to offer the kind of support you can.

Peace and blessings to you all.
