I've just been sent this which might inspire and interest some of you.
"Have you ever wanted to really make a difference? In September 2007 we are organising a fantastic challenge to raise funds for Vision Africa and really make a difference for hundreds of children. You will have the opportunity to trek to the summit of Mount Kenya as a sponsored challenge, raising money to fund building two new Vision Africa projects. You will also visit several of our existing projects, including our children's home at Riandu.
The mountains of East Africa offer some of the finest walking in the world. Part of the magic is that they are in Africa, rising as most of them do out of the great plains, to altitudes that take the adventurous walker from the hot, dry tropical land through lush forests to alpine tundra and permanent snow. The valleys and ridges surrounding these peaks offer fantastic and fascinating walking, giving even more diversity than the ascent of Kilimanjaro. From the spectacular summit of Mount Kenya, the view is spectacular as the plains of Africa spread out before you, with Kilimanjaro standing majestically in the distance.
Our schedule departs London on 5th September 2007 and returns 12 days later.
Interested? Want to know more? Send us an e-mail to challenge07@vision-africa.org and ask us for an information pack. The challenge is organised for us by Trailblazers and you can also register your interest on their web site. We also have a pdf document that you can download for more details of the aims of the challenge.
Join us for the trip of a lifetime in September 2007. The cost of the trip will be set very soon and is expected to be between £1460 and £1600. You pay this cost yourself, then we ask you to raise as much as you can in sponsorship for our projects, preferably upwards of £2000. You'll need to be fit and healthy, but no specialist skills or training are required."
