On Sunday, March 29, Chris and I had the opportunity to make our presentation to the Barrhaven United Church senior youth group and congregation. There was a great turnout and we had a number of interesting questions. Not quite as interesting as the week before, however, when I presented to the Sunday School kids. Questions like, "how did the mountain get there?" and "what's inside the mountain?" were a challenge to answer to say the least.
We raised $280 towards our project on Sunday night and we are very appreciative of the opportunity and the contributions.
Barry and Chris Finlay from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2009 and have since raised enough money, in conjunction with Plan Canada, to provide access to clean water and classrooms for a community in Tanzania. They are now embarking on a project to help youth and women ages 15-24 in Tanzania to establish businesses. Read about their journey in their book, Kilimanjaro and Beyond. This Blog describes upcoming events and how you can help.
