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.

New Fund Raisers
I have lots of fund raising ideas percolating. I am just waiting for feedback from a few people and we will get started. Anyone have any fund raising ideas they would like to contribute? We need around $8,500 to complete the well project in Mwanza, Tanzania.
