-Uganda,

-a country in central Africa...

0:00:530:00:56

-..with a population

-of over 34 million.

0:00:560:00:59

-Most people are very poor and have

-to live on less than 75p a day.

0:00:590:01:05

-Kampala is the capital city.

0:01:050:01:08

-The Newid Byd team - Iestyn, Luis,

-Ceri, Rachel and leader Arwel...

0:01:080:01:13

-..have been working on all kinds

-of projects in the country...

0:01:130:01:18

-..helping adults and children.

0:01:180:01:20

-When we worked with the Child of

-Hope charity, we visited a school...

0:01:240:01:29

-..and taught the children

-before going to Namatala slum...

0:01:290:01:33

-..to help the community.

0:01:330:01:35

-We met a group of women

-who suffered with HIV...

0:01:360:01:40

-..that met once a month...

0:01:410:01:43

-..and made jewellery

-to boost their income.

0:01:440:01:47

-We then moved on to another location

-to work with Dolen Ffermio.

0:01:470:01:53

-The charity

-teaches people how to breed goats...

0:01:530:01:56

-..to make them bigger in order

-to increase their household income.

0:01:570:02:01

-We had the difficult task

-of building a goat shed.

0:02:020:02:05

-We didn't think

-we'd get it finished in time.

0:02:050:02:08

-From Kumi, we continued the farming

-theme by farming coffee in Konokoyi.

0:02:080:02:14

-We helped

-a local farmer called James.

0:02:140:02:17

-It was nice watching

-the harvesting process...

0:02:170:02:21

-..from the picking to the

-pulping and drying of the beans.

0:02:210:02:25

-Fair trade is a good idea...

0:02:270:02:29

-..because James can ensure

-consistently high prices...

0:02:290:02:33

-..so that he

-can plan for the future.

0:02:330:02:36

-It's good that he's able to send

-five of his children to school.

0:02:360:02:41

-He can buy medication,

-clothes and food for his family.

0:02:410:02:45

-There are many problems

-facing the coffee farmers...

0:02:450:02:49

-..the biggest of which

-is climate change.

0:02:500:02:52

-The temperature

-has increased two degrees Celsius.

0:02:530:02:56

-The coffee doesn't thrive as well.

0:02:570:02:59

-It needs more shade

-and therefore more trees.

0:02:590:03:02

-But in order to plant trees,

-trees must be grown from seedlings.

0:03:120:03:16

-With that in mind, the team heads

-to Busiu, to the south of Mbale.

0:03:170:03:22

-This nursery

-was opened two years ago...

0:03:260:03:30

-..and 57 members

-of the local community work here.

0:03:300:03:34

-The nursery is part of the

-Share An Opportunity organisation...

0:03:340:03:39

-..which tries to change

-people's attitudes to trees.

0:03:390:03:43

-Annette is the plantation's manager.

0:03:460:03:48

-The team must watch her at work

-so they can do the work themselves.

0:03:490:03:53

-She's mixed the chicken's poo-poo,

-sand and compost...

0:03:570:04:02

-..and her tiny trees

-have been soaking in water.

0:04:030:04:07

-She's popping them

-into plastic pots.

0:04:090:04:11

-We've observed the process - is

-everyone happy with the task ahead?

0:04:110:04:16

-Everyone's happy but some are

-having trouble recognizing plants.

0:04:190:04:24

-Yes, that's it, Luis.

0:04:260:04:28

-They all look the same.

0:04:280:04:31

-Iestyn's

-having the same trouble as Luis.

0:04:310:04:35

-Is that...

0:04:350:04:37

-..a weed?

0:04:370:04:39

-Is that a weed?

0:04:400:04:41

-No?

0:04:410:04:45

-OK? In the pot?

0:04:450:04:47

-No!

0:04:480:04:50

-Naughty boy, Iestyn!

0:04:500:04:54

-This is hard work.

0:04:540:04:56

-Here at the nursery

-they grow fruit trees...

0:04:590:05:02

-..like mango, banana,

-avocado and orange trees.

0:05:030:05:07

-They also grow trees

-that provide shade...

0:05:070:05:10

-..in case families want to

-shelter plants like coffee...

0:05:100:05:16

-..or bananas.

0:05:160:05:18

-They also grow trees that

-are suitable for arid and wetlands.

0:05:180:05:23

-Do you garden at home?

0:05:230:05:25

-Do you garden at home?

-

-I used to when I was small. Do you?

0:05:250:05:28

-No, but my mother does. She'd be

-embarrassed to see me fare so badly.

0:05:280:05:34

-Yours is coming out of the bottom.

0:05:340:05:37

-Give it a little wiggle

-for it to come out.

0:05:390:05:41

-You have to be delicate.

0:05:420:05:44

-Busiu is a very dry region

-and crops that rely on rain...

0:05:490:05:53

-..like coffee and banana

-don't thrive here.

0:05:530:05:56

-Farmers are more likely

-to grow cereals...

0:05:570:05:59

-..like millet and sweetcorn.

0:06:000:06:02

-It's incredibly dry in this region.

0:06:020:06:05

-Considering it rained heavily

-in Mbale last night...

0:06:060:06:10

-..there was no rainfall here.

0:06:100:06:12

-They obviously

-have problems with drought.

0:06:120:06:16

-There aren't many trees

-because they're chopped down.

0:06:160:06:20

-They've lost

-their traditional trees.

0:06:200:06:23

-People chop down trees for firewood,

-timber or for construction.

0:06:230:06:28

-How is the chicken poo coming along?

0:06:280:06:31

-It's quite nice, actually.

0:06:310:06:34

-Our hands will be nice and soft.

-It's a nice moisturizer.

0:06:340:06:38

-Like an expensive one with bits in!

0:06:390:06:42

-It's a great facemask then.

0:06:420:06:44

-Yes. It smells nice too.

0:06:450:06:46

-Yes. It smells nice too.

-

-No spots tomorrow for you then!

0:06:460:06:49

-You love chickens, don't you?

0:06:490:06:51

-Too right!

0:06:510:06:53

-This nursery

-is one of many in the area...

0:06:530:06:57

-..that is part of a Welsh scheme

-called Size of Wales...

0:06:570:07:02

-..to protect existing forests

-and plant new trees.

0:07:020:07:05

-Put simply,

-the Size of Wales scheme...

0:07:060:07:08

-..is a community project...

0:07:090:07:12

-..which involves locals in the

-Mount Elgon region of Uganda...

0:07:120:07:17

-..to plant more than a million

-trees, the same size as Wales.

0:07:170:07:23

-It's important to plant trees.

0:07:230:07:26

-They've already

-encountered landslides...

0:07:260:07:30

-..where the land

-during heavy rain...

0:07:300:07:33

-..has broken away and slid...

0:07:340:07:36

-..down a hill.

0:07:360:07:38

-Trees' roots keep them stable.

0:07:380:07:40

-They also absorb water,

-which means the land is drier.

0:07:410:07:45

-It's had an impact on business.

0:07:450:07:47

-Coffee companies

-have lost their annual turnover...

0:07:470:07:52

-..due to a landslide.

0:07:520:07:54

-A road was forced to close...

0:07:540:07:57

-..so the coffee

-wasn't able to reach market.

0:07:570:08:01

-Between the four organisations...

0:08:010:08:04

-..25 nurseries

-have been established...

0:08:040:08:07

-..with more than

-750,000 trees already planted.

0:08:070:08:11

-Locals come to the area

-to collect the seedlings...

0:08:110:08:15

-..and to learn about the benefits.

0:08:150:08:17

-In a few years, when the trees

-have grown, they can sell them.

0:08:170:08:22

-They have money

-to feed their families...

0:08:220:08:25

-..and it also helps global warming.

0:08:250:08:27

-One of them

-has a three-year-old child...

0:08:280:08:30

-..and by the time the child is 10...

0:08:310:08:33

-..she'd have the resources

-to send the child to school...

0:08:330:08:38

-..and boost the family's income.

0:08:380:08:40

-The charity chooses

-the tree recipients carefully.

0:08:410:08:45

-They pick people

-who are capable of nurturing trees.

0:08:460:08:49

-They take into consideration

-what grows on the farm...

0:08:500:08:53

-..suitability of the soil

-and how many acres there are.

0:08:540:08:57

-Those are the factors that decide

-which trees they are given.

0:08:570:09:02

-Uganda has already lost

-two-thirds of its forests...

0:09:030:09:08

-..over the past 20 years.

0:09:090:09:10

-If it continues, there will be

-no trees left by 2050.

0:09:110:09:14

-90% of families

-cook on an open fire.

0:09:150:09:19

-Collecting firewood is never-ending

-and charcoal is costly.

0:09:190:09:24

-Debolah has a fuel-saving stove.

0:09:240:09:28

-Madam Rachel, welcome.

0:09:300:09:32

-Thank you.

0:09:330:09:35

-This is my fuel-saving stove.

0:09:350:09:37

-This is my food.

0:09:380:09:40

-This is my sauce.

0:09:410:09:43

-The Size of Wales scheme would like

-to see more of these stoves used...

0:09:440:09:48

-..as they are very beneficial.

0:09:480:09:50

-This fuel-saving stove

-is better than the old one...

0:09:510:09:54

-..because I can manage

-to cook two things at a go.

0:09:550:09:59

-With the old stove, she could

-only cook one thing at a time.

0:09:590:10:04

-She said that cooking beans

-took three hours on the old stove.

0:10:060:10:10

-Two stoves makes it quicker for her.

0:10:100:10:14

-She had to collect lots of firewood

-for the old stove too...

0:10:140:10:19

-..whereas now she only needs

-two or three small bundles...

0:10:190:10:24

-..to keep it alight.

0:10:240:10:26

-It's much better

-for the environment.

0:10:260:10:29

-We don't get any problem with smoke

-because of this chimney.

0:10:290:10:33

-The smoke just goes out.

0:10:330:10:36

-She also said

-it's better for her health...

0:10:360:10:39

-..because the smoke from

-the old stove affected her lungs.

0:10:400:10:44

-It also made her eyes water.

0:10:440:10:47

-You taste?

0:10:470:10:49

-You taste?

-

-I'll taste a little bit of fish.

0:10:490:10:52

-Mm, nice. Yes, it's good.

0:10:520:10:55

-Very good.

0:10:550:10:57

-I definitely think

-this new stove is a good idea...

0:10:580:11:01

-..because when we cooked on

-a small stove in Namatala slum...

0:11:010:11:06

-..it took much longer...

0:11:060:11:09

-..so it reduces cooking time

-and the food tastes nicer too.

0:11:100:11:14

-It obviously works.

0:11:140:11:17

-Jackson Wananda is another

-of the nursery's managers.

0:11:230:11:27

-He's been responsible for nurturing

-around 80,000 small trees.

0:11:270:11:32

-The team helps him with the

-watering, but first they need water.

0:11:330:11:38

-Luis helps Irene, Jackson's

-daughter, to fetch water.

0:11:420:11:46

-This is a daily journey for her.

0:11:460:11:48

-This way?

0:11:490:11:51

-How far to...?

0:11:530:11:55

-Water shortage is a problem.

0:12:080:12:11

-Irene fetches

-two full cans of water every day...

0:12:110:12:15

-..just to water the plants.

0:12:150:12:19

-It's hard work just to fetch water.

0:12:190:12:21

-It's not very clean.

0:12:240:12:26

-The water in the fountain

-was dirty and full of moss.

0:12:270:12:30

-You could see things living in it.

0:12:310:12:34

-It wasn't at all clean.

0:12:340:12:36

-After loading the water cans...

0:12:370:12:40

-..they head home.

0:12:400:12:42

-But pushing the bike

-towards the fountain...

0:12:420:12:46

-..is easier than pushing it back.

0:12:460:12:48

-Flippin' heck!

0:12:510:12:52

-When I tried to turn the bike...

0:12:530:12:55

-..the weight was at the back, so it

-tipped over, which was embarrassing!

0:12:560:13:01

-When I'm back home,

-I'll definitely appreciate...

0:13:010:13:05

-..the fact I'm able to put

-a can under the tap and turn it on.

0:13:050:13:09

-People here

-have to walk distances of 6km...

0:13:090:13:12

-..just to fetch a can of water.

0:13:130:13:16

-It's a huge shock.

0:13:160:13:18

-We've arrived.

0:13:180:13:20

-After Luis fetches the water,

-Ceri starts the watering.

0:13:220:13:27

-The rain patterns are strange.

0:13:290:13:31

-Some areas may be pouring with rain

-while this region has no rainfall.

0:13:320:13:37

-Although they try

-to collect rainwater...

0:13:370:13:41

-..they can't depend on it

-since it rarely rains.

0:13:410:13:45

-The Size of Wales is part of a

-wider campaign to draw attention...

0:13:500:13:54

-..to climate change.

0:13:550:13:57

-The Welsh Assembly Government

-and Ugandan government...

0:13:570:14:01

-..are working together to try and

-help farmers like Yefusa who's 76.

0:14:010:14:06

-Yefusa grows

-700 different kinds of trees...

0:14:060:14:09

-..some of which have

-been donated by a local charity.

0:14:100:14:14

-Today, he needs the team's help

-to prune and weed.

0:14:150:14:18

-Yefusa grows

-bananas, mangoes, avocados...

0:14:290:14:34

-..oranges, lemons, coffee,

-beans, soya beans.

0:14:340:14:38

-He grows loads of things.

0:14:380:14:40

-As a 76-year-old, Yefusa has years

-of experience of farming here.

0:14:410:14:45

-In the last few years, he has seen

-the effects of climate change.

0:14:460:14:51

-About 20 to 30 yeas ago...

0:14:510:14:54

-..we had three seasons for planting

-because we had plenty of rain.

0:14:550:15:00

-Nowadays,

-it is very hard to predict.

0:15:010:15:04

-30 years ago,

-he would have had three seasons...

0:15:040:15:08

-..because there was plenty of rain

-and the crops thrived.

0:15:080:15:13

-But that's been reduced

-to only one season now.

0:15:130:15:16

-It's reduced his income because

-he doesn't know when it'll rain...

0:15:160:15:21

-..so he plants,

-then there's a dry spell...

0:15:210:15:24

-..so all his crops die.

0:15:240:15:26

-It's a difficult situation.

0:15:270:15:29

-Due to the change in seasons, he has

-tried to vary his farming methods.

0:15:300:15:34

-We've tried to plant many types...

0:15:350:15:39

-..different types of trees.

0:15:390:15:41

-He's mixed his trees and plants...

0:15:420:15:45

-..so he has different levels.

0:15:460:15:48

-The mango

-and banana trees offer shade...

0:15:480:15:52

-..for the soya beans on the ground.

0:15:520:15:55

-The earth is more fertile.

0:15:550:15:58

-It's disappointing he has to do this

-because of climate change...

0:15:590:16:03

-..compared to the rest of us

-around the world.

0:16:030:16:06

-The team

-has been busy working the land.

0:16:080:16:11

-While pruning and weeding, they can

-appreciate the trees around then.

0:16:110:16:16

-At home, I don't appreciate

-the importance of trees.

0:16:160:16:20

-They're just things that existed.

0:16:200:16:23

-Being here I've realized their value

-in terms of safeguarding the crops.

0:16:230:16:29

-I'd heard about climate change

-but I didn't really understand it.

0:16:290:16:35

-Seeing how much

-it affects the farmers...

0:16:350:16:38

-..has really had an impact on me.

0:16:390:16:42

-They can't plan in advance

-when to harvest.

0:16:420:16:47

-The entire process is slowed down

-due to a lack of rain...

0:16:470:16:51

-..or maybe too much sun.

0:16:510:16:54

-The effects of climate change

-is obvious here.

0:16:540:16:58

-But there has been change at home

-too over the past 10 years...

0:16:580:17:03

-..in terms of floods

-and torrential rain.

0:17:030:17:07

-It's currently affecting

-our country, as it is here.

0:17:070:17:12

-It's time to move on and the team

-is nearing the end of its journey.

0:17:230:17:27

-But there is one

-final task to complete.

0:17:270:17:30

-They have reached Bukhumwa

-Primary School outside Mbale.

0:17:330:17:37

-Usually,

-700 pupils attend this school...

0:17:380:17:40

-..but since it's the first week back

-after holidays, only half are back.

0:17:400:17:45

-This will be helpful since they have

-plenty of room in which to work.

0:17:450:17:50

-They have

-a very specific job ahead of them.

0:17:510:17:55

-Here we are.

0:17:550:17:58

-Come inside.

0:17:580:18:00

-It's empty in here.

-It's a classroom.

0:18:030:18:07

-Well, it used to be a classroom.

0:18:070:18:09

-There are seven classrooms

-and around 700 pupils.

0:18:090:18:13

-But what they need

-is some kind of library.

0:18:130:18:16

-Libraries are rare in Uganda...

0:18:170:18:19

-..especially in primary schools.

0:18:190:18:22

-They don't have many books

-and reading for pleasure...

0:18:220:18:26

-..is a rarity.

0:18:270:18:29

-The Newid Byd team

-is trying to change that...

0:18:300:18:33

-..by creating a colourful room.

0:18:330:18:35

-We could work around the blackboard.

0:18:360:18:38

-We could work around the blackboard.

-

-Yes, that would be cool.

0:18:380:18:40

-We could

-do the same with the windows.

0:18:400:18:45

-We could paint strips of coloured

-paint to make it more vibrant.

0:18:450:18:50

-We could

-maybe hang a book on the wall.

0:18:500:18:54

-Don't laugh!

0:18:540:18:56

-A large book with quotations, maybe?

0:18:590:19:03

-I've been looking forward

-to this task right from the start.

0:19:030:19:07

-The room is bigger than I thought.

-I thought it was going to be small.

0:19:080:19:12

-The windows take up a lot of room

-so we'll have to work around them.

0:19:120:19:17

-I'm a creative person

-because of my interests back home.

0:19:170:19:21

-I hope I can bring those skills

-of painting sets and so on...

0:19:210:19:25

-..into painting the library.

0:19:260:19:28

-It'll be interesting

-to see what we can create.

0:19:280:19:31

-Unlike at home, where

-you can buy shelves from a shop...

0:19:360:19:39

-..they must be made here,

-so a local carpenter has been hired.

0:19:390:19:44

-Although he said

-he would be here at 10.00am...

0:19:440:19:47

-..there is no sign of him.

0:19:470:19:49

-The team begins designing the walls.

0:19:500:19:52

-Ceri wants to be a primary

-schoolteacher when she's older...

0:19:530:19:57

-..and is interested to see

-how pupils are taught here.

0:19:570:20:01

-She takes a look around the school

-and is shocked to see so few books.

0:20:020:20:08

-Two cupboards aren't much since

-there are 700 children at school.

0:20:100:20:16

-They don't have books

-to read for pleasure...

0:20:160:20:19

-..or books to stretch their ability.

0:20:190:20:22

-Many are textbooks and handbooks

-for teachers to conduct lessons.

0:20:220:20:27

-It's completely different

-to schools in Wales...

0:20:270:20:32

-..that promote reading.

0:20:320:20:34

-She observes a reading lesson

-and chats to the headteacher.

0:20:350:20:40

-It's a problem

-because we have few books.

0:20:400:20:43

-Do they enjoy reading?

0:20:430:20:45

-Yes, they enjoy reading.

-We have three lessons a week.

0:20:450:20:49

-Three lessons a week?

0:20:490:20:51

-Three lessons a week?

-

-For reading.

0:20:510:20:53

-I was in a reading class and eight

-children were sharing one book.

0:20:530:20:57

-I asked

-how they all learnt to read...

0:20:580:21:01

-..and the teacher told me

-they learnt from one another.

0:21:010:21:05

-One read aloud and then

-passed the book around.

0:21:060:21:09

-The headteacher said

-they couldn't afford books...

0:21:090:21:13

-..so reading became

-a lower priority.

0:21:130:21:16

-Books are very costly. The smaller

-children didn't even have desks.

0:21:170:21:22

-They had very little resources

-and their pencils were old.

0:21:220:21:26

-Some had worn right down to the nib.

0:21:270:21:29

-They were squatting down

-to copy from the blackboard...

0:21:290:21:33

-..which was

-the only thing on the wall.

0:21:330:21:36

-Would having a library

-change everything for you?

0:21:360:21:40

-It would change because

-each one would have a book...

0:21:400:21:44

-..and reading would improve.

0:21:450:21:46

-The library is important

-because children can go there...

0:21:470:21:51

-..read a book and enjoy it.

0:21:520:21:54

-They'd be able to pick a book of

-their choice instead of a textbook.

0:21:540:21:59

-The team is about to travel

-to the town to buy paint...

0:22:080:22:12

-..when the carpenter

-finally turns up.

0:22:120:22:15

-How are you? Are you OK?

0:22:150:22:17

-Richard. Arwel. How are you doing?

0:22:170:22:20

-Some of the schoolchildren

-flock to the van to help out.

0:22:200:22:24

-Be careful.

0:22:240:22:26

-It's been a frustrating day today.

0:22:260:22:30

-We're working on African time,

-as they say out here.

0:22:300:22:35

-The wood

-was meant to arrive at 10.00am.

0:22:350:22:38

-Then it went

-from 10.00am to 11.00am...

0:22:380:22:41

-..to three o'clock.

0:22:410:22:43

-How high?

0:22:430:22:45

-A couple of small jobs left

-to finish the day.

0:22:460:22:49

-The team is finally happy

-with its design.

0:22:490:22:53

-We argued a bit to begin with...

0:22:530:22:56

-..because some of us

-disagreed with some ideas.

0:22:560:23:00

-We've finally

-reached a compromise...

0:23:000:23:03

-..by using

-everybody's individual ideas.

0:23:030:23:07

-The original plan

-for the blackboard...

0:23:070:23:11

-..was to put ribbon

-all around the room...

0:23:110:23:16

-..with the colours of Wales

-on this side.

0:23:160:23:19

-Between every window, we're going

-to write words of inspiration.

0:23:190:23:24

-Today, the plan is to do as much

-preparation work as possible...

0:23:260:23:30

-..and get stuck in tomorrow.

0:23:300:23:32

-Next time - the final days in Uganda

-are spent completing the task.

0:23:370:23:42

-It seemed a good idea at the time!

0:23:420:23:45

-And a chance to reflect

-on their time in the country.

0:23:450:23:50

-I'll never forget

-the way I felt when I realized...

0:23:500:23:53

-..how much injustice

-there is in the world.

0:23:540:23:57

-To find out more about the team

-and its work, visit the website.
