Dear Mr Odama.

May I please request you to forward my below email (including attachement
containing very
good news indeed) to the Westnile Platform.

I do not know why, but although being a menmber for many years, my mail
server
refuses to perform this task.

Thank you,

Alwin Bubendorfer

Dear all.

I am not a West Niler, but can be considered as a friend of West Nile :-)

I lived in Arua for 3.5 years - establishing energy offices, mainstreaming
energy into
development plans and engaged in efficient cooking stoves, solar PV,
electricity grid
work and environmental conservation / tree planting.

I wanted to make you aware of a press release by the Danish Embassy, who
apparently
are setting up a big operation to support the adaptive capacity of Northern
Uganda to
Climate Change (see attached). This gives me a lot of hope, as West Nile
indeed was
moving fast towards desertification - a very dramatic trend!

I would be very happy if you could provide me with updates on the
electricity situation in
West Nile - a month after I left we had switched on Nyagak. I had by then
already developed
a concept note outlining needs for additional investments into power
generation, especially
in order to supplement during the dry season. I would now be happy if you
could give me an
overview about your experiences in regards to grid availability / power
quality, I feel there
are always options available to change things - be aware of the power of
joint efforts!!!

I am very much looking forward to your responses and remain with kind
regards,

Alwin Bubendorfer

Dear Friends

It may be difficult for us to directly influence the situation in the
refugee areas; but we can make individual efforts at afforestation in
different parts of West Nile. Apart from contributing to improving the
environment, trees are a good investment for the long term - in retirement
or for the next generation.

Nice week.
