This October, we reached the summit of Kili in a blizzard of minus 25degrees. It was a week of seriously bad weather. Only the team spirit got 18 of 24 to the top. It truly was a climb and the hardest thing I've ever done.

We did it motivated by your support and donations to help us build the school in Gourcy, Burkina Faso, West Africa. As a collective, we've raised near £100k so far and have about £50k more to raise before the project can complete it's first phase. Then the poorest country in the world can begin escaping poverty.

Thank-you so much for helping. Our next expedition is likely to be even harder but if you fancy achieving your own Kili summit, head over to www.givingafrica.org to sign up for the 2012 one.

Our short film will soon be ready for you to watch thanks to MegaUpload.com

Best wishes
