"The Amani centre in Morogoro Tanzania is a day school,rehabilitating and caring for mentally disabled children or those with other related disabilities. Its founder, Mama Josephine Bakhita, who is herself mother of a (now late mentally disabled son) is a social worker continuing to develop the Amani centre as an NGO. The services provided range from physiotherapy, day care education, vocational training and community development of social workers. Annually many foreign students and other visitors from abroad contribute to the size and beauty of the Amani community, some embark on projects to help expand the centre, and others help with the day to day tasks of running the centre and caring for the children." previous volunteer at the Amani center.

In the summer of 2010 I will be making my way up Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa (5,892m) in order to raise money for the children at the Amani Center. 

In the past I have cycled up Alpe d'Huez, and Gavia, but this is something entirely new for me- and I am looking forward to the challange. I hope you will support me and the children at the Amani Center through your generous donations. Please please, I know many of you are students and very tight for money, consider it one or two pints less on a night out, or even better, donate the money for a night out to the children at the Amani Center.

 

Thank you very much for your time, and please sponsor me.
