Total request for project USD2600  - pays for setting up and running of 2 tree nurseries for one year. This money pays for equipment, polythene tubes, seeds, training, monitoring, and transport. Buikwe community is a poor society and 99% of the people live in rural areas. Wood is a necessary part of every day life, and there is tremendous pressure to clear forests for agriculture. The present way of life is not sustainable, and wood has always been treated as a free resource and vast areas of woodland have been cleared up carelessly without any replanting for future generation. This deforestation also leads to soil erosion, land degradation and ultimately climate change, which is and will have a devastating effect.

    Warriors turn to relief workers to rebuild a war torn country. There are insights learned that may lead us to World Peace. "A Prescription For Peace" is a great read as we remember those that have fallen to defend our great nation. Their blood will lead to a day where we all share in World Peace.

    Many persons believe world poverty exists as a result of our ignoring its existence. It is enough to say that the well-established can fight starvation of other individuals without becoming impoverished themselves. Naturally, world poverty, as it presents, is an issue where persons are left to starve because of oppressive tactics and improper distribution of goods.
