13/12/2019
Makerere University in Uganda celebrated International Mountain Day 2019! The Mountain Resource Centre of the university organized an excursion to the Kween district, one of the remote districts in Mount Elgon, Uganda. The hikers engaged with local youth to understand their successes and challenges in their various initiatives, including tree nurseries, river bank tree planting and agriculture. The university also held a round-table discussion on youth initiatives both in rural mountain areas and at the national level. The students participated in the global video conference hosted by Western Colorado University. Photo from Bob Nakileza
