Rotary club of Kajjansi launches Kajjansi getting green

By Hannington Sebuliba

On saturday September 24, 2011, schools around Kajjansi recieved a total of 1100 tree seedlings planted in their compounds in a bid tomake the areas look green.

The project of Kajjansi getting green is a brain child of President Peace Taremwa of the Rotary Club of Kajjansi. Among the schools that benefitted from this project are Kitende Secondary School, Taibah College, Kigo Prison Primary School, Kisubi Mapeera, St. Kizito Bweya, Musiko Memorial- Lutembe and another primary school in Nakawuka area.

Rotarians and Interactors from the neighbouring schools braved the morning showers and plannted the trees.
President Taremwa said that the reason why they chose to plant trees in the schools was two fold. One to preserve the enviroment and two to see that children nature these trees and develop a culture of tree growing.

Taremwa said that once children appreciate the act of tree growing, they will be able to do it even after school. He went on to say that the money collected from adverts in the Installation Magazine, was used for this project and that more trees will be planted to places of worship.
