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.

Another Great Event!
We had a great turnout and reasonable weather for the 2nd annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids Tournament. A little over $4000 will be going to Plan Canada for building classrooms in Mwanza, Tanzania. Thanks to Debbie for organizing the tournament and to all volunteers and participants for being there. Photos will be coming soon.

$10,000 towards a new Ford
No, that is not a typo. Ford has donated $10,000 towards a new car if you get a hole-in-one at the 2nd annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids tournament this Saturday at Lombard Glen in Smiths Falls. They have also donated a set of ladies and men's Callaway golf clubs for a different hole. No-one will get a hole-in-one you say!!?? Well, I saw it a couple of years ago in a tournament. It does happen. Come out and give it a try.
