Great time at Clean Water for Africa Day and we raised over $4000 for the well in Mwanza, Tanzania. The weather held off long enough and people seemed to have a good time. The trebuchet was a hit and by the way, if anyone wants it for a fund raiser, I am sure it is available. Thanks to all our sponsors, the Tanzania High Commission, Plan Canada, our wonderful volunteers and the media and to Pierre Poilievre, MP, Lisa McLeod, MPP, and City Councillor Steve Desroches for attending. It was a success!!
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.
