There is a young NGO whose objectives include environment conservation though community participation. Based in Kanungu but to operate in the whole of Uganda with partners abroad. Any person, Organisation or body interested in being part, knowing more or donating can use my e mail: agabajb@yahoo.ca requesting for the detail.

By for now. Great times. JB Agaba

It was a real day and time worth spending. I havw seen the photos and read the events that took place at the Gorilla naming celemony, it was all glamourous. I missed.

I am a Ugandan, we had planned the same for Bwindi NP when i was still working for Kanungu District as Environment Office but it flopped. We should contact you for tips and advice on how it can be done.

Great and nice times

Paula, I really wish I could have been there. It sounds like you had an outstanding time! Seeing the gorillas is on my list of things I must do in my lifetime. I think it sounds like I may need to add the naming ceremony as part of that list (maybe all in the same trip). In my heart of hearts I really want to go to DRC and see the gorillas there. I hope they can get it all sorted out soon over there. I can’t wait to see your gorilla treking experience. Don’t make us wait too long. : ) Lisa

Fabulous … sounds like an awesome time … you should ask for a tour of the brewery in Gisenyi that uses methane drawn from Lake Kivu to brew … the DR Congo should get Kivu methane to replace charcoal!

Thanks Sheryl, I’m going to try and find his CD but the truth is that like so much live music the real deal was so full of energy - the online version sounds a bit tinny (or perhaps its my computer). He was incredible - that voice is something else. Teh concert ended at about 3.30 am and other members of our group who had gone to bed could not sleep for the noise, it was so loud that the hotel rooms were vibrating! I think all of Gisenyi and Goma across the border were listening! Wish you could all have been there.

Mr. Ngoma certainly has quite the Internet presence. I found an MP3 stream of his song, “Bane.” Check it out: http://www.imeem.com/maryjane74/music/jJVXyfcK/bane/
