The Climb of All Climbs

For a second year, Bruce Thew is hosting an Amani Children's Home Golf Day this September. Intrepid Guerba Travel, a long-time supporter of the Amani kids, is offering two free treks up to the Roof of Africa as a raffle prize for Bruce’s event. Bruce’s company, Activenes Consultancy, will contribute £500 per person towards the costs of flights. Every cent raised in the raffle will go to help the Amani children.

Whether you have an adventurous spirit – or want to make a difference with your feet firmly on the ground – this is a great opportunity. Last year the climb raffle raised nearly £5000, sending 53 children to primary school for an entire year. With your help we can make it possible to give more children the opportunities that an education brings. Please visit http://www.justgiving.com/brucethew1 to buy your raffle tickets today!

Amani Children’s Home is dedicated to the protection of Tanzania’s most vulnerable population: street-children and AIDS orphans. It is estimated that there are 2.5 million orphaned children in Tanzania. Since its founding by Tanzanians in 2001, Amani has rescued hundreds of children from the perils of life on the streets, where they face a high risk of HIV transmission, malnutrition, and abuse.

Thanks and I hope to see you at Mt. Kili!
