The Challenge…. to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding mountain in the world, raising funds for Featherstale Children’s Village, Tanzania an eco community, housing special needs children. .

Story

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read about our aim.

My eldest son Aran and I will be climbing Kilimanjaro with a group of friends between the 14th - 24th September to raise money that will go towards the building of a new purpose built 20 bedroom accommodation facility which will house 25 to 50 special needs Children and their single parent mothers who would otherwise be homeless. A truly remarkable and worthy cause managed by an amazing team which we will visit before our ascent

All the costs for the trip are being met separately so fund raising is genuine fund raising (with 80% reaching the Feathers Tale - Children's village, and 20% contributing to LNADJ's operating costs).

The benefits of Featherstale are endless for the guardians and children alike…

  • Lining in a small community where parents with special needs children can live with one another is a way for both the parent and kids to have support from one another, given they are sharing similar experiences in life
  • Like wise, the children who never get to socialize with other special needs children, have daily interactions with others in the same position physically and mentally as they are…
  • When parents need to do simple tasks, perhaps wash clothing, go shopping, cook or even work… then they are surrounded by people who are qualified to care for a special needs child, people who have the patience and understanding to care for such children, given they too are the parents and guardians of a child with special needs.
  • The childrens funds social worker can keep a constant check on the children, and their guardians to ensure their well being both mentally and physically.
  • Children don’t need to separated from mothers that love them.
  • As the community will be placed next to the children’s home, emergency transport for medical issues is always available, where as with out it most children are close to an hour from a hospital, at night time that could be 8 hours +, as all our residents would have to wait for the public transport to start.
  • Children receive physio, wheelchairs, sensory stimulation.. rather than being left on the floor somewhere..
  • There are many more benefits, but these are key… lastly and perhaps more importantly,  single parents with such children will have an option, and hopefully in time less special needs children will be abandoned here by desperate parents in need of help…

As an added extra to this experience , George aka Dj E. A.S.E. of Nightmares On Wax will be doing the WORLDS HIGHEST DJ SET once we reach the summit .

HOW COOL IS THAT ?

Every little helps , so i thank you now for your support in helping us to help others have a better life .

Much Love 

Paul and Aran
