The 'green transition' is not only innovation, but also remembrance and restoration. Let's draw from our heritage as we imagine the future.

The fifth and final reel from our short film ends our Youth and the Green Transition workshop with a Green Festival, celebrating with cultural dance, an arts exhibit and visits from various practitioners. Thank you Ranga Gworo and Maura Ajak for visiting! 🇸🇸🌍🌳♻️

presenting a Kakwa / Kakuwa song called Banda Nyona Wuti Kare sung by Grace Ropani in Rhino Camp 🍚 🥣 🎶

The song mocks a co-wife, accused of being lazy and only wanting "ready-made things," and advocates for cooperation and collectivism in labor.

It is normally sung while going about domestic work.
