In Comemoration of the health days, over 20,000 trees were planted  in the Omungari-Kazo district.

The Rotarians also toured the Rwamwanja project which was started in the Rotary years of 2020–2021. This project was led by then District Governor Nominee, Peace Taremwa and the late Past President, Yoweri Ninsiima, of the Rotaract Club of Bwebajja.

They wanted to see how successful these trees had grown.One of the Rotarians stated that; those moments bring out the theme of the Rotary year which is “Imagine Rotary.”

Bringing ourselves back to this place and seeing how successful these trees have grown has brings us to tears. It is in moments like this that the theme of this Rotary year, ‘Imagine Rotary,’ is brought to life”, a Rotarian stated.

It is believed that medical camps are life saviors, many say that had it not been these free medical camps, the deprived part of the community would not be in any way close to medical services.
