Kilimanjaro.......at bloody last!

Late breakfast......... Cats Vs Pies.......catch some of the England Vs Scotland game......... And then the KL contingent is off!
With a lead up like that, it's highly unlikely that any of us will make it to the airport sober!


At long last, after 10 months of planning and dozens of jabs, we are ready to attack the world's tallest free-standing mountain!

It has been a great personal goal for all of us and particularly for me as I have worked steadily towards building a bunch of kwacha that we can use to make a meaningful long-term impact with the Livingstone orphans.



So, what did we achieve? How much did we raise? Well, the best way to put it into perspective is to put it into tangible terms....

We raised enough to pay for a teacher's salary for 7 years!!

Pretty happy with that.....

Climb starts on Tuesday 4/10 and if all goes well we will reach the summit on Sunday 9/10 at dawn.

Keep your fingers crossed......

Kilimanjaro - ni tu ya kilima!
