My story

 
Dear All,

For those who know me what you are about to read may come as quite a shock, so much so that you may fall off your seat. Therefore, I recommend you sit on the floor before reading on...!!

For some time now I have wanted to do something out of the ordinary, something, that in years to come I can look back on and say 'did I really do that?' At the same time I have wanted to become involved in charity work, this being a fantastic opportunity.

So, in February 2010 I will be off on a little adventure to reach the summit
of Mount Kilimanjaro, all 5,895 meters of it!

In doing so, I am hoping to raise £2,000 (and more) for the Charity Community Projects Africa (CPA), a charity founded by a lady, who, after climbing Kilimanjaro herself, saw the need to raise money for projects in North Tanzania. Today CPA supports a variety of projects in North Tanzania as well as Ethiopia and Southern Africa. These projects include schooling, vocational training, sanitation, the provision of safe water supplies, educating communities about HIV/ AIDS, and critically, helping to assist families affected by HIV & AIDS.

As part of my 'adventure' I will be fortunate enough to spend time getting involved with a number of these projects and will no doubt take hundreds of photos to share when I return. But if you would like to see some of the projects that have already ready been carried out or learn a little more about the charity please visit
http://communityprojectsafrica.com/about.html

I know I won't be able to do this without your support and encouragement so I am asking you to please help me to reach my scarier-than-the-climb target of £2,000 and, in doing so, help change the lives of so many who are living in a world less fortunate than ours.

Thank you so much

Eliza xxx
