The Pearl of Africa.
1:00:20 Interview 2: Matthew Cooper [DE]
Part 1: Joanita (Josh) Akello
Born and raised in Uganda, Josh is living now in Bonn from where she joins us this week. Her impressive networking skills have shaped this podcast since the beginning, so it is about time for her to get involved! She takes us through a variety of topics about her home-country, for example the unique way of choosing names for newborns in Uganda as well as the peaceful co-existence of Islam and Christianity in everydaylife. Make sure to check out Josh’s projects:
- The Tannenbusch House: An open space with a large variety of activities in Bonn (https://www.tannenbuschhaus.de/)
- “Spotlight on the Pearl: A documentary series that showcases the diverse culture and rich history of Uganda (https://spotlightonthepearl.org/)
Part 2: Matthew Cooper (Matt)
Aus Fort Portal, Uganda berichtet uns Matt. Er ging den umgekehrten Weg wie Josh und ist als gebürtiger Brite mit Zwischenstation in Deutschland mittlerweile seit vielen Jahren in Uganda wohnhaft. Der studierte Biologe erzählt uns neben seiner interessanten Biografie von den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf die Äquatorregion, staatliche Bewaldungsprogramme und die beeindruckende Biodiversität Ugandas. Um letztere zu erhalten engagiert sich Matt unter anderem mit seinem Naturschutzprojekt “Kyaninga Forest Foundation”. alle Infos dazu unter https://www.kyaningaforestfoundation.com/
