Trees for Bibles brought together young people from churches, Bible Society Nairobi branch members, friends and staff. In the run-up to the event, more than 20 youth pastors meet at Bible House to plan how to encourage young people from all Church backgrounds to participate.

The programme for the day included not only planting trees, but also walk to a location where trees had been planted previously and team-building activities.
