Kilimanjaro Charity Expedition 2006
Hi everybody,
I and my team will be attempting to summit Kilimanjaro in july this year(2006). The expedition will last 17 days trekking the hardest route on Kilimanjaro all this for Diabetes UK and BLESMA. We will also be taking a Blackburn Rovers flag to the summit and hopefully be the first Rovers fans to do this! Before we attempt to summit Kilimanjaro we will be visiting Amani Children's Home which is situated in Moshi, Tanzania. Amani Children's Home is dedicated to the protection of Tanzania’s most vulnerable population: street-children and AIDS orphans. The children age from 3 to 18 years old. Since its founding by local Tanzanians in 2001, Amani Children's Home has rescued over 210 children from the perils of life on the streets, where children face a high risk of HIV transmission and malnutrition. So we are hoping that the people " Joe public" could help us reach our target of £500 and assist us in making a donation to the Children’s Home? So if you have a few quid spare, you can help us, help the children of Africa. We accept online payments through paypal mainly.... but you can use any of the methods on here: http://www.kilimanjaro-expedition.com/donations.php Please pm me for details on how to donateor cheques or any general questions, coparate sponorship etc. Thank you Warren Last edited by wozaup; 07-06-2006 at 16:06. |

Re: Kilimanjaro Charity Expedition 2006
Hi Warren
I'll send you a PM. I was in your form at Norden. Hat off to you, you've done some great things. Your charity work should be an inspiration to us all. I should get paid tomorrow, (always run out before 25th of the month!). So I will make a donation for the childrens home by paypal. Hope it will get to you before you leave.
