NAIROBI, May 31, 2012 (CISA) -In cooperation with other faiths the Franciscans are starting a tree planting campaign based on the love of St Francis for creation and for Mother Earth.
The campaign is expected to reach each Diocese, parish, outstation, Small Christian Community and the family. Schools and social institutions are also to be incorporated in the programme.
Br Hermann Borg, ofm, the patron of Mother Earth Nature, said that they will involve other faiths among them the Muslims and the Hindu.
“It will teach, educate, motivate, inspire, enlighten, encourage, activate and mobilize. It will open eyes, ears, minds and hearts. It will include, incorporate, enlarge, widen horizons and call for actions,” said Br Borg.
“The forests cover needs to be raised from 6% to 10% for the present generation of seven billion of people. The potentials are there if action is taken. With modern methods even semi-deserts can turn into green forests,” he added.
All organizations are invited to join this faith based initiative.
“The campaign hopes to dig holes, to prepare the ground, to plant trees, to water and take care of them. We plan to initially plant 10 million trees in Kajiado, Subukia, Kitui, Wamba, Turkana in Kenya and in South Sudan. We hope for your support in prayers and by action,” concluded Br Borg.
