Over 100 holidaymakers from different schools in the Uganda are camped at the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (Uwec) in Entebbe the commonly known Zoo clearing the bushes as well as planting pasture for the animals .
Uwec Executive Director Andrew Sseguya said the zoo has gained from the services of the volunteers.

He said that Uwec is a non-profit making organisation nationally legal to create awareness of conserving Uganda’s biodiversity amongst the public particularly the young generation .
Uwec like many other organisations of nature values the natives’contribution.
To find youth in this selfish world doing all this type of volunteer work is so revolutionary brilliant . This showed a challenge to their elders Mr John Nagenda, the Senior Presidential Adviser on the Media and also Raleigh Uganda Patron, and Transport minister urged the youth to keep up the spirit of voluntarism.
He said that they will endavour every thing possible to give a hand in the support of the Raleigh Uganda organisation.
Mr Sseguya was on Monday addressing the students under their umbrella organisation, Raleigh Uganda.
The group is Non Government Organisation that encourages the youth to discover their full potential through working on exacting and ambitious community and environmental projects and expeditions.

Sseguya thanked the volunteers for their efforts that have led to the continued survival of wildlife, which is costly to maintain. Today, Uwec boast of a well-landscaped administration block, where Raleigh International helped fill gravel in the compound to give a characteristic natural look. He said Raleigh Uganda has cleared a big bushy area where grass will be planted.

Sseguya said on another occasion, Raleigh Uganda weeded the Kidepo exhibit, a 3.5 hectare piece of land, of all unwanted, poisonous weeds in preparation for new animals.

Nagenda urged the Uwec management to cooperate with the youth and told the UWEC officials not to charge the youth for their staying there because Charging volunteers is simply bankrupt thinking

Mr Ronald Tana, the Raleigh Uganda team leader, promised to continue working with the youth from all backgrounds to discover and reach their full potential through undertaking and involving them in environmental, community and adventure projects.He added that six members would soon go to Namibia for training
