Detailed description

This Rotary year, the District Governors of D9214 and D9213 committed to supporting environmental sustainability in celebration of more than 100 years of Rotary service in Africa. All Clubs, Rotarians and Rotaractors were tasked to 'plant their balance' to 100 years. RC Lubowa has continued to plant trees in response to the DGs call and for this project, Club members went out to replace all the trees that had withered due to the dry spell experienced in the country. 112 indigenous were planted to replace those that had been lost.
