<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rarely in life are we given the opportunity to help those that really need it the most; however ‘Richmond Group Builds’ Africa 2011’ is an incredibly exciting opportunity to do just this. In August, I shall be part of a team that climbs Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for our school building project in the Mwala district of Kenya. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the next few months, our team of 12 will be ramping up our training programme in order to be able to complete this monumental task. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, and when our team reaches the summit it will be a special moment. However, I need your help in order to carry out the most rewarding work. We have set a goal of raising £20,000 so that we can help change the lives of the people of the Mwala community. We will be part of a Build Africa scheme, assisting in building the Kombe Primary School in Mwala district. </span></span></span></p>
