Lift the “Pygmies” Up, Don’t Knock Them Down!

📁 , ,

Look who’s back at Edirisa on Lake Bunyonyi! The Wheeling2help volunteer crew have returned. Two of their teams helped us whip up the Batwa Feast last year, bravely stepping in as our taste-testers so the first lot of 2025 could savour the real deal yesterday … Fancy giving it a go yourself? You’ll get to visit the “Pygmies” in a way that lifts them up, not knocks them down. Go on, you know you’re curious.
