Distinguished guests
Ladies and gentlemen
It is always a wonderful experience for me to be part of an event
to celebrate communities' efforts to take care of the land and its
natural resources. This event is of no exception as the Mmaphake
LandCare Forum is a community-based program that seeks to protect
the environment for the benefit of the current and future
generations.
The launch and official opening of this LandCare Centre fits in
well with the celebration of 2006 as the International Year for
Deserts and Desertification.
The United Nations General Assembly, at its 58 ordinary session,
adopted a resolution which declared 2006 the International Year of
Deserts and Desertification (IYDD), in so doing, it underlined its
deep concern for the increased levels of desertification,
particularly in African communities.
