By DENNIS LUBANGAMore by this AuthorEight-year-old Gitau Munene, a class two pupil at Nova Pioneer School in Nairobi, shocked many after he garnered 800 points to win the beginners’ class category at last weekend’s Jumbo Charge 4x4 Mt Elgon Challenge in Cheptais, Mt Elgon. The main aim of the three day-event on the slopes of Mt Elgon is to raise funds towards wildlife and environment conservation through tree planting. “I will be back another time to do another challenge and plant trees in conserving the environment,” said the excited Gitau. “We need to get out of our comfort zones and plant trees, or else the third generation won't see enough of our wild animals like the elephants. It's a worrying trend how the trees have gone down in Mt Elgon,” he added.
