Our cocktail party scheduled for May 18, 2010 is shaping up nicely. A number of organizations have jumped on board to support our endeavours to help some kids in Africa have clean water. Among those supporting us so far are: Petit Bill's Bistro, Canterbury High School, Unibroue Breweries, Microsoft, Giraffe, Lord Elgin Hotel, Edible Arrangements, Paul Young (author of "The Shack", Huff Estates Wineries, Westboro Flooring, Black Prince Winery and the Central Asia Institute.
Thanks to all.
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.

Cocktail Party - May 18
Plans are rolling for a cocktail party to be held May 18 at Petit Bill's Bistro in Ottawa. So far, we have African entertainment and some great silent auction items. One I am particularly excited about is the bestselling book, "The Shack", signed by the author. There will be lots of prizes as well. More details will be announced soon. Mark it on your calendars and help finish the well at the Kayenze preschool in Mwanza, Tanzania.
