Climbing Kilimanjaro

On the 28/08/07 a group of energetic Rotarians, one Lion and Friends will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in Africa.


The climbers will be raising money to assist AIDS orphans in Africa and to continue the good work being done by Rotary for the School of St. Jude. The organisers welcome anyone who is interested in climbing or who would like to sponsor the climb. Your assistance will help the three beneficiaries:

* The School of St Jude, Tanzania
* Operation Medical Hope, Hout Bay, Cape Town
* RFFA Rotarians For Fighting AIDS, Orphan Rescue South Africa & Kenya

The climb has an excellent web site and blog where you can keep up to date or leave a comment.

The Rotary Clubs of Coolamon and Forbes Ipomoea from the Riverina of New South Wales, Australia have combined to organise this event and you may contact the two following leaders of the event for further information.

G 'day Gillian

Many thanks for doing that and we too will support Gemma and The
School of St Jude.

BTW how did you find us?

We now have 11 confirmed climbers with 4 vacancies left. So if you
know of anyone who may want to join us they do not need to be a
Rotarian.

We are training hard and look forward to getting to Tanzania.

Let me know where you are from please.

Kind regards
John Glassford

Hi John,

It's great to see you getting lots of interest and support. Climbing Mt Kili seems to be a very popular activity!

I think I stumbled across you in a search list of some kind.

I live in Sydney. I'm looking forward to visiting the School - probably in Sept.

Cheers
Gillian
