On 22nd and 23rd of November, Nairobi experienced a new kind of new when Twestival Global made its debut led by Evans Muriu, who was selected as the national co-ordinator.
For those of you who up till now do not know of Twestival;
It is a global movement that uses
social media for social good, empowering communities around the world to
organize one-of-a-kind offline events in support of causes.The theme for Nairobi was Afforestation with Nairobi Green
Line being the recipient of 750 seedlings.
On the evening of 22nd November the team put up a
fundraiser at Pawa 254 which would later be followed by a walk the next day 23rd
November to the Nairobi National Park and a 2 hour tree planting ceremony would
commence.
In the end, the
dream of Nairobi Greenline to have a 30 km long and 50 meter wide forest of
indigenous trees soon became reality. This was a great and exceptional event
that echoed the same message and sentiment, we should all stand together to
protect our park!
Congratulations to
Evans and the team for a job well done!
Thank you for the amazing post.
