In a bid to combat climate change in the world and align with President William Ruto’s directive of planting trees, Grade 7 pupils in Kyandu Bright Academy in Kangundo have planted 200 trees in the initiative dubbed Elimu Tree Movement.
The Grade 7 pupils through the assistance of their Director Timothy Kyandu noted that they took the initiative to plant the trees as a way of preserving the environment as well as combating climate change.
Addressing the pupils during the tree planting exercise Kangundo Subcounty Director of Education Abdi Salat said that it was wise of the school to start the Elimu Tree Movement noting that it would help the learners to be responsible as well as ensure they preserve the environment.
“As a ministry, we have vowed that we shall not be left behind in campaigning for tree planting that is why today have joined these learners to ensure that we plant trees,” said Salat.
“This shows the responsibility that these learners are willing to take because they have to water these trees as well as nurture them for them to be able to grow and yield fruits or even shade during hot weather,” he added.
