In climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in July, I will be raising money for TanzEd, a charity based specifically in Tanzania, working hard to improve the educational facilities available to the children and young adults.

The climb will be a challenge, mentally and physically, and it is one I am prepared for. Please sponsor me so that I can help to make a difference in a country that suffers greatly from poverty and illness.

Whilst over there, a group of us will also be touring performances of original pieces, laced with educational issues, simplistic physical humour and universal themes around schools in the area, in which many pupils suffer from the AIDS virus.

The main charity we are supporting is TanzEd, but because we are supporting several different charities we are using the School as an umbrella.

Again, please give generously, as we need all the help we can get to reach our target! Many thanks.
