Camp for nature trip to Gomba district report

Introduction:

On Friday, the 4th of June, a team of 100 students from Makerere University Business School, Makerere University Business School Catholic Community, and Makerere University, along with alumni members of GreenLyf Network, embarked on a two-day camp for a nature trip to Gomba district. The aim was to provide students with hands-on experience and knowledge about environmental conservation and climate change. This report highlights the activities conducted during the two-day, one-night camp in Gomba, focusing on their effectiveness and positive impact on climate change awareness under the theme “Let’s talk climate, let’s think green”.

DAY ONE:

The day began with a visit to Gomba Second Generation Model Farm, where we had a guided nature walk around the farm, appreciating smart agricultural practices. These practices stand out as effective ways of being resilient to climate change, which everyone needs to embrace. The serene environment at the farm was evidence that the air we breathe in the city is significantly more contaminated compared to the air around the farm environment. This compelled us to contemplate what we, as youth, can do to create change in our communities.
