Memories from 2015
Gifts are presented to the prominent guests from Norway. Sometimes a pot of ground-nut sauce, other times a live chicken. Not always easy to take with you in your backpack or on a plane to the north. These boys have gone a bit out of their way – three storeys high! Hmm – special delivery?
UPLIFT anniversary – 25 years, and running!
As we have now entered 2026, it seems appropriate to point out that UPLIFT, still an actively driving force, has existed for 25 years.
(The picture shows the Norwegian delegation and UPLIFT board members, 2007.)
