Sunday, March 6, 10:00am - Tuesday, November 30, 12:00am White Plains Presbyterian Church, 39 N. Broadway, White Plains, New York. Wangari Maathai will visit the White Plains Presbyterian Church and preach the sermon. Following the service, the church will hold a tree-planting ceremony on the grounds then proceed to coffee hour. As always, we welcome visitors and encourage everyone to come and hear this inspired woman share her powerful and timely message. Tuesday, March 1, 11:15am Fairmont Hotel, The Gold Room, 950 Mason Street, San Francisco, California. Honored for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace, the Kenyan environmentalist will make a rare public appearance in the Bay Area.
The Council celebrates Wangari Maathai, Kenyan environmentalist and 2004 Nobel Laureate. She is a voice for sustainable development, environmental protection, democracy and peace. As founder of the Green Belt Movement, she has challenged conventional wisdom and opened new avenues for citizen action. She is emblematic of the kind of leader who is changing our world. While global stewardship is a collective enterprise, Wangari Maathai reminds us of the power of one brave individual.
Dr. Maathai will be introduced by Bay Area philanthropic leader and Council Vice Chairman Richard Goldman, who first awarded Dr. Maathai a Goldman Environmental Prize a decade ago.
