Green Africa Foundation in partnership with Kenyatta International Conference (KICC) today marked the World Environmental Day by planting over 1000 trees at the Nairobi School. Students from the school, led by the institution's Deputy Principal Ms. Loyce Ndegwa and the Dean of Students Mr. Peter Kwambai, participated in the event. The staff from KICC was led by the Corporate Planning Manager Mr. Humphrey Odendo and the Public Relations executive Ms. Silvia Mochorwa while the team from Green Africa Foundation was led by Dr. Isaac Kalua, who is also the chairperson and founder of the organization.

Reading the Managing Director's speech on his behalf, Mr. Odendo said “Environmental day celebrations go way back to around the year 1973 which is also around the same time the KICC building was completed and born.” He further said that “KICC is committed to responsible environmental practices which they have demonstrated through their corporate social responsibility practices and day-to-day business operations.” Mr. Odendo invited students who are members of the environmental club to visit the 28 storey building and learn more about the premier conference facility.
