First Impression!
My name is Monika Hellenthal and I will work at JEEP as a volunteer for one year. Due to my studies of Renewable Energies, I have knowledge about energy and environmental projects which i am now contributing toward JEEP projects. During my studies, I specialized on biogas and worked for one year in Peru (South America), with a small scale biogas installation, so I was pleased to see that JEEP has its own biogas plant and is planning to research and implement more in the field of biogas.

World Day to Combat Desertification 2014
The theme for WDCD 2014 is, “Land belongs to the future, lets Climate Proof it”. The purpose of this event which took place at Sekulo Primary School on the 16th – 17th in Budaka District located in Eastern Uganda was to raise awareness while demonstrating to communities the sustainable land management and climate smart land use technologies/practices. Although Budaka is one of the 5 districts implementing the project “enhancing adoption of climate smart agriculture in Uganda’s farming systems”, the district was chosen to host this year’s event because it has experienced severe land degradation in the past.
