Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Ok guys, this is the start of the biggest adventure of our lives! On 18th December 2011 we are going to start our climb to the top of the highest free standing mountain in the world - Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania! It stands at an impressive 19,341ft and will take us 6 days to reach the peak.
Some may think we are crazy but we are doing for a fantastic cause, Kids Aid Tanzania. This charity supports projects which address the care, education and health needs of improverished, vulnerable or disabled children together with their carers.
We have been in touch with the charity and here is a snippet of the email we received...
"I promised to get back to you after our trustees meeting on the use of the money you are raising. The trustees have decided that they wish to take on a new project to pay for the primary school education and uniforms for children at the Kuleana Street Childrens Centre in Mwanza and are putting your money towards this. The centre takes in children from the street and provides them with a bed and food. Attempts are made to get them back to their families. The Centre supports education for the kids, either at home, when family re-integration is achieved, or in Mwanza, when this has proved impossible." [Colin McArdle, Chair of trustees, Kids Aid Tanzania]
