Go tell it on the mountain
Posted by Will Lockie | December 10th 2007
We did it! On the 7th of September 2007, 8 Spannerworker’s successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the worlds tallest free standing mountain. We have been raising money for a Children’s Home in Moshi, Tanzania, The Amani Kids Home, which is run on donations.
So, we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way - our clients, our colleagues, and our friends and family. You have all been absolutely wonderful and we could not have done this without you, so thank you again. Notes and from the team and pictures of our journey are here.
The total amount raised currently stands at £12,402.72. Our target was £10,000.00.
Valerie Todd, Director of the Amani Home, says:
“Spannerworks’ dedicated support of Amani Children’s Home over the years is unparalleled.
The Spannerworks’ team’s climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro will make it possible for Amani to build a playground. For children who had been living on the streets, the chance to play and explore will be a wonderful gift for them, and an important part of how Amani restores hope and joy to their lives.”
In summary, we are totally chuffed that we all managed to climb Kilimanjaro, nobody got hurt or really ill, and we raised a shedload of money for a dedicated charity. Being able to visit the Amani Home and see how the money will help was really important to us, and we are even more pleased that we smashed our fundraising target.
Asanta sana!
