Correspondence:
1. via Daphne from ENSS Gwen concerning the Trees for Trees program in Uganda and the Chimpanzee Trust:
I am happy to present to you the report from the field for the tree planting exercise recently completed by our field team. Please see the attached. I am also happy to report, that despite the C19 issues, we have been able to plant nearly 60,000 tree seedlings this year alone. We are also heavily involved in a campaign to save a forest that is home to over 650 wild chimpanzees, under threat from a politically connected sugarcane plantation company. Your support is contributing to this firth through the restoration of areas depleted of trees. P lease send our regards to the Brighton Rotary Club and thank them for their support.
Thank you. Josh Rukundo Executive Director
Chimpanzee Sanctuary & Wildlife Conservation Trust

Rotary Minute
From R Liesje:
Not enough altruistic people. Sometimes we have too many of certain types of professions / trades and then a deficit in others. The good Samaritan often involved in many interests / a broad range of services. It is being aware of the need and stepping up.
