The second annual environmental awareness conference for Kenyan youth saw the Kenya community of all different religions coming together to talk about the important relationship between faith and environmental protection.
The Global Sisters Report attended the conference and reported on the events of the two days. They are non- profit, independent news outlet concerning the issues facing the catholic sisters and the community they serve.
