My Birthday wish
How time flies. Just the other day, I did a post ‘ONE YEAR OLDER’ and shared some photos I came across when I went down memory lane. 12 months later I am back at it again. 2013 has been one hell of a year and on November 13; I add a plus one to (x).
Just like any normal person would, I have spent the last few days as an (x) year old guy soul searching – looking back at the past, the good and the bad, the achievements and the failures, using that to make better decisions for my future. I would like to usher in my (x) +1 years in style and most importantly with you. I have met some of my online friends; others I have always hoped to meet but maybe just maybe half of my birthday wish will come true. I would like you and your friends to join me as I usher in my new year. Over and above that, I would like us to do something for the environment.
On November 22nd, we will have a chilled out evening at PAWA 254 where we will network, have fun, eat and drink BUT FOR A GOOD CAUSE. On 23rd November, I (you are welcome to join me) will be planting at least 750 trees along the Nairobi Green line and I am sure with your support I can make it happen.
At the time I was writing this post, I had 4511 friends on Facebook and 3095 followers on Twitter. If half of my Facebook friends contribute a minimum 88/- each, I will be able to plant 750 trees on my birthday. If half of those who follow me on twitter contributed at least 130/- each, my dream to plant 750 trees on the 23rd of November will be a reality, now imagine how many trees with your help I can plant on that day?
It will only cost 200/- to plant a seedling of an indigenous tree and for its subsequent maintenance. The 750 trees may not seem as much but it is time we drew the line to protect the parks and conserve our flora and fauna to co-exist with nature and save our priceless national heritage for our children and posterity.
So this is the game plan, you can support the cause by making a donation to MPESA BUY GOODS TILL NUMBER 89857, and/or joining me on the 22nd of November 2013 at PAWA 254 from 6pm. You can get more details about the cause via the Twestival Nairobi website page, the face book page or twitter account.
