I thought that myself when I heard about the Kilimanjaro Challenge organized by Accenture und VSO. But after reading more about that challenge and the good that comes with it, I signed up for a charity walk up the Kilimanjaro Challenge from August 26th - September 5th 2012 in order to raise money for people in need.</span></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"><br>I need your support!</span></strong></p>

This trip is organized by Accenture and VSO which are specialized in sending professionals to developing countries. I will be joined by other Accenture colleagues from all over the world. This challenge consists of 2 parts:</span></p>

In fact, 50% of the donation I collect will go to local projects in Kenya/Tansania while the other 50% are used for VSO´s Livelihood program.</span></p>

<p>Wie weit gehst du für eine Welt ohne Armut? 5895m nach oben - das wird von nun an meine Antwort sein. Denn am 26. August 2012 starte ich zur Herausforderung meines Lebens, zur Spitze des Kilimanjaro, um einen Beitrag für eine bessere Welt zu leisten.</p>
<p>Und dabei brauche ich eure Hilfe. Bitte unterstützt mich bei meinem Ziel, durch eure Spende an die VSO, um Menschen in Not zu helfen!</p>
<p><strong>Wieso solltet ihr mich unterstützen?</strong></p>
<p>Eure Spende geht direkt an die VSO, die mit Hilfe des Geldes Freiwillige Helfer in weltweite Projekte entsendet, um Hilfe zu Selbsthilfe zu leisten und dem Hunger, der Verbreitung von Aids und dem Mangel an Bildung entgegenzuwirken. Eure Spende wird nicht dazu verwendet meine Ausgaben Flug, Treck etc.) zu decken - diese bezahle ich selber.</p>
<p>Ich werde eines der Projekte in Kenia besuchen, welches ihr durch eure Spende unterstützt und euch an meinen Eindrücken teilhaben lassen.</p>
<p><strong>Wie könnt ihr mich unterstützen?</strong></p>
<p>Ihr könnt mich unterstützen, indem ihr über diese Website direkt an VSO spendet.</p>
<p>Ich habe einen weiten Weg vor mir, denn ich muss 3.000€ Spenden sammeln und 5.895m nach oben steigen. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr mich bei meinen Bemühungen unterstützt und danke euch schon jetzt vielmals. Solltet ihr Fragen haben, dann zögert nicht auf mich zuzukommen.</p>
<p>Claudia </p>
