People were very excited to attend, and a crowd of over 300 watched five different environmental clubs present songs and dances.

On October 7th, we were proud to have the official opening ceremony of the Kibale Community Fuel Wood Project Science Center at our main demonstration area in the Kaburala Trading Center, just 1 km from the border of Kibale National Park. The Center is a wonderful compliment to the rest of the demonstration area, which teaches abut trees and efficient stoves. Now, people can also learn about the wildlife they will be protecting if they adopt the promoted practices. More than 50 invited guests were in attendance. October 9th, Ugandan Independence Day, was another grand opening, attended by over 300 community members. We are very thankful to the Great Ape Trust of Iowa for fully funding the Science Center.
