Tree planting at Kibaha

Rotary clubs in Dsm raised 90M Tshs in September 2009 by conducting a charity walk and joining the UNEP campaign plant for the planet and the money raised by the charity walk was solely for planting trees in Tanzania. The walk for the planet event was a combined effort of all six Rotary Clubs of Dar es Salaam in association with Bank M who was the main sponsor for the event. The first of the tree planting took place at Kibaha secondary girls school in aid of afforestation at the Bertel Melin Forest. About 500 saplings of Trichiniag trees mainly for timber was planted by 140 Rotarians from all over the world which included a group of 70 Rotarians represented by Past President DK Lee and Rotarians from Korea, Japan , US and Canada on a holiday who donated a day of their holiday to assist with the tree planting. The trees will be maintained by the girls studying at the Kibaha secondary school. The total number of trees planted will be 35,000 trees this year. See our very own Rtn Gideon planting trees
