Treasures of Africa Children’s Home, an orphanage for AIDS orphans in Moshi, Tanzania, is organizing a fundraising climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, known as the “rooftop of Africa” in July 2009. Climbers will leave for Africa on Tuesday July 7th and begin the climb on Friday July 10th. This is a non-technical climb (no ropes or picks required) but does require a certain level of fitness.
This nine day climb will raise money for the orphanage and provide an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience for the climbers. We are utilizing the services of the number one trekking outfit on the mountain, TUSKER TRAIL (www.tusker.com) to lead us on this amazing journey. Here is how it works:.
Each climber is responsible for the cost of his own climb plus roundtrip airfare to Kilimanjaro Tanzania. (Consider it an investment in the most amazing vacation of your life!) Then each climber is asked to raise a minimum of $5,000 in donations for the charity - TREASURES OF AFRICA CHILDREN’S HOME. This can be raised by soliciting private or corporate donations or a combination of both. We can send you fund raising ideas.
At the end of the climb you will visit the orphanage and get a chance to meet the children in person. They will capture your heart and you will know that all your efforts will have been worthwhile!
