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.

Book in the works
I have been working on a book, with input from Chris, about our adventure climbing Kilimanjaro and helping the kids in Mwanza. The working tftle is "Climbing Kilimanjaro and Making a Difference". I am discovering it is a lot of work but the manuscript has been sent for editing. I will keep you posted on progress.

Golf Tournament Registration
It is time to register for the 2nd annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids Tournament to be held at Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club on August 21. This one promises to be full of fun and surprises and hopefully no rain (although the last part is not guaranteed). You can sign up on the website at www.kilimanjarogolfforekids.com. Just click on 'Contacts". As usual, all proceeds go to building the school in Mwanza. We hope to see you there.
