Hello Team Green-Kenya,
It is that day of the month that we come directly to you with feedback and testimonials from participants and Green-Kenya family that we reach here in Nairobi, precisely Shauri moyo, Majengo, Kinyago slums and its environ, but more so from Green-Kenya.
Our First ever Ground Office!!
We are very much delighted to tell you that for the first time since we rolled out our life changing programs in the community, Green-Kenya has an office, thanks to your support through Global Giving, we can now meet as community Impact Coaches and put our minds together and share our finding from the ground. The office is now centrally located where our participants, parents and community at large can come and get information about our programs and opportunity to volunteer towards a worthy cause.
Our life Changing Community Impact Program (CIP) is stretching further to 10 Primary School thanks to your Support!
It came to us as a surprise that SOS village (bururu) Nairobi, the first village to be established in Kenya and it is a home to 158 Children is more than willing to host our next Kick and conserve tournament. Kick and Conserve is tailored to teach young people how to conserve the environment using the power of sport. Our target for the upcoming kick and Conserve tournament is 15 school that will result to 450 participants both boys and girls sharing equal number.
Truly, this is a life changing opportunity for a young person to plant a tree in their primary life and take part in contributing to 10% forest cover in our Country however small it might look. I would like to quote what Camerom of SOS Primary told me when she recognized my face when I visited SOS Primary because she was present during the previous Kick and Conserve that was held in Thomas Burke, I wanted to know if she can remember what she learned and she told me that and I quote “What I learned is that we can conserve our environment by planting two trees if you cut one to stop soil erosion, I would like to tell my friends and everybody that we should not cut trees without a good plan to plant others”.
These words really touched my heart; it also propelled my energy to work even harder to reach many young people in the communities who would have not gotten this kind of information in their primary school life.
I would also like to inform you that, through your donations, Green-Kenya is still among the emerging ongoing campaign on the Global Giving website, for this. We are still requesting you to help us cement our life changing Community Impact Program (CIP)on the Global Giving website by helping us reach our target of 5000 dollars from 40 unique donors, we have already raised 1,275, we are still looking forward to raise of 3,725 dollars to reach the target. Because of that, Community Impact Program will is not be available via Global Giving search or browser. It is only available via a direct link at https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/community-impact-program. We would like to apologize to our supporters who have tried to search or browse for community Impact Program without success. This should not be a challenging moment for you.
