First, in the company of Mr. John Sande- the Director Environment Department at the City Council of Kisumu, we made a courtesy call on the Deputy Town Clerk Ms Muthoni Orlale.

This was purely a planning session for the Clean-up scheduled for the 17th March. The Clean-up will be hosted at Kondele Market while the Tree Planting sessions will be held at Kondele Police Station, Migosi Health Centre, Kondele Primary School, Migosi Primary School, Manyatta Primary School and at The Provincial General Hospital.

We were impressed that many more groups have been meeting with the Council in some advance planning for the D-Day.
