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.

Final Totals Are In
I am very happy to report that approximately $8,000 was raised through ticket sales, donations, sale of silent auction items and the 50/50 draw at the Clean Water for Africa Cocktail Party May 18. That is actually about $1,000 more than required so the extra amount raised will go towards the education project. I am also very proud to say that this completes the Clean Water project as the well will be functional by August 31. Everyone who contributed to this project should have a feeling of pride too. You have all been part of this.
