Thanks for visiting my justGiving page for Oxfam Ireland's Climb Kilimanjaro 2011.   On 25th February I will be setting off with 19 other people to Climb Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Oxfam Ireland's work.   At 5,896m above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Climbing Kilimanjaro will be a big challenge, both physically and mentally demanding, but with preparation and determination I am hoping to make it to the summit!    The funds raised will be used in both Oxfam Ireland's emergency and long-term work: - Approx £100 could provide enough food for one month for 5   children orphaned by AIDS. Nourishing food would help by improving their health and well-being. - Approx £160 could pay for a Farm Pack. A cow, goat, piglets and chickens provide a community with a life-line, improving diets and helping people make a living. Milk, chicks and cheese can be sold to pay for school fees or useful tools. <ul> </ul> By donating money, you will be helping Oxfam make a tremendous difference to people's lives in some of the most needy parts of the world. Even if you can only give a few pounds it would be much appreciated.   Thank you so much Laurin   Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
