The Nairobi Greenline Project will hold a golf tournament on Friday (June 10^th) at the Windsor Golf and Country Club to mark the World Environment Day and to raise funds towards its 300,000 tree planting campaign to protect the Nairobi National Park.

This 18 hole Stableford competition has attracted over 20 corporate sponsors among them PG Bison Kenya Limited.  The Company has sponsored the 17^th hole for 40,000 shillings.  Nishit and Hitesh Mediratta, the Directors, will play in the tournament together with their clients Eric Govani and Zubin Parikh.

A total of 190 competitors have registered in this Greenline charity golf event.  Other players on the list are Anthony Percival, the Managing Director of Toyota, Pradeep Paurana, the Chairman of  Athi River Mining, General Sassia of the Armed Forces of Kenya and Wanja Kimani, the Coordinator of the Greenline Project.

The competition will start at 8.00 a.m. on Friday and the prize giving is scheduled for 7.00 p.m.  There will also be a briefing on the progress of the Greeline project and celebrations to mark the World Environment Day.

In 2010, the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) started the Nairobi Greenline Project in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to grow 300,000 trees from the Cheetah Gate in Athi River to the Carnivore Restaurant.

The aim of this campaign is to protect the Nairobi National Park from pollution, encroachment and human and wildlife conflict.  Since the launch, the sponsors have raised 23 millions shillings. michael kors tasche sale michael kors tasche sale
