Day 5 (Part 1) - 22/02/25 (Ian)

Global warming: Whilst Joseph was showing me around the departments at NVI we came to an apparently disused set of wood workshops which Joseph explained was the carpentry department. The reason why they were not currently in use was because of the low level of interest in taking up carpentry because everyone was aware of the need to stop cutting down trees. For every tree cut down they want to plant six more. Our hotel has solar water heating facilities and rainwater harvesting.

Many rooms have the following notices (Picture 1 below)

This country is one of the poorer countries of the world but appears to be far more prepared to take real positive steps to reduce their carbon footprint which is minuscule compared to the wealthy countries of the world. Yet another example of the things we can learn from this wonderful country - God Bless Uganda!
