The group travelling from Nairobi to Durban consists of 160 youth, fifty of these are from organizations in Norway such as Norwegian Church Aid, Changemaker and KFUK-KFUM. They have gathered together to drive six buses from Kenya to South Africa to have conserts along the way and to make people sign their petition for a binding legal agreement on climate change. Their goal is to hand over 1 million signatures to the COP17 meeting in Durban later this year. According to Norwegian Church Aid in Malawi, Desmond Tutu has already signed the petition.
