Story

<p><span style="color: #800000;">I am once again training a team and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in August to raise money for Build Africa, a charity that believes in <strong>making a sustainable difference for the next generation in Tanzania and Kenya</strong> by funding and supporting school building projects, and as importantly teacher training and governence in the most needy rural areas.&nbsp; As part of the charity's long term approach, some of the money is also being spent on HIV and health awareness training, child protection, gender and disability discrimination in schools.&nbsp; <strong>As a group they are planning to raise &pound;20,000.00</strong> for a particular project, the Kombe school in the Mwala district of Kenya.&nbsp; <strong>Details of what the money will be used for is in photo 2</strong>.&nbsp; All the money riased is for the charity, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>none</strong></span> of it is being used to pay for my flights, trek, accommodation etc.&nbsp; After the climb we are all going to the school to spend 5 days working on parts of the project.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800000;">So please dig deep and donate now.&nbsp; Thanks, Paul.<br /></span></p>
