So that visitors to the National Memorial Arboretum can take a rest or shelter from the weather, Lions Clubs International in the British Isles and Ireland has risen to the challenge of creating a purpose-built new shelter at the site.
It was dedicated by The Countess of Wessex in September 2011 who afterwards made a private visit to the Armed Forces Memorial.

It is so named for its pink waters, caused by cyanobacteria in the water. The color is particularly visible during the dry season. The lake is also known for its high salt content, which, like that of the Dead Sea, allows people to float easily. The lake also has a small salt collecting industry and is often the finishing point of the Dakar Rally.

Mount Teide is a volcanic peak on Tenerife, Canary Islands. Its 3718m summit is the highest point in Spain, the highest point above sea level in the islands of the Atlantic, and it is the third highest volcano in the world measured from its base on the ocean floor, after Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It remains active, with its most recent eruption occurring in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the north western Santiago rift.

The Fulani of West Africa are primarily pastoralists, but are also traders in some areas. Fulani often spend a long time in the countryside, on foot, moving their herds; they were the only major migrating people of West Africa, though most now live in towns or villages. Wealth is counted by how large the herd of cattle is and how many cattle. Modern day Fulani such as these in Senegal are becoming more and more modernised gradually learning the ways of western life although many hold on fiercely to their ancient traditions.
