History and plans for ECO tourism

Ready for the homestead road to Kirembe and a visit to one of our two farms in REEC. We start our stay with Wilfred (guide) going through what has happened and plans for the future. Impressive work and an extra big thank you from Elverum Folk High School to retired agronomist Iver Husum. High professional competence has been added to everyone who works on the farms. Both Iver and his wife Gry (former principal at Romerrike FHS) have contributed greatly to the fact that the money collected has been invested well. Good plans for ECO tourism by former art student and landscape architect Ruth Karin and sister Ann Kristin. much good from Dombås!

New this year was the start of an agricultural museum in the large warehouse. Here, information and objects that are and have been important in Uganda's agriculture were collected. And then there was a short visit to the one-week-old chickens,

The walk up to the water tanks is great, with views over our entire 240-acre area, but also where local villagers have a more than 500-hundred-meter-long water pipeline from the Rwenzori Mountains down to the tanks at the top of the farm. But more importantly: Supplying water to the residents of Kirembe village. A great win-win project.

Exciting to be involved in tree planting on the peaks, especially banana trees + nursery beds for eggplants and cabbage.

And finally we greeted the goats, walked through the area with coffee trees, vanilla plants, large jac-fruit, corn and beans and took a rest break under a huge mango tree. And then there was feeding of tens of thousands of young tilapia (cod fish) in one of two important fish ponds. And before we went home to Kasese we got a surprise lunch with samosa, japati, peanuts and fruit. We call it a day!
