On January 22, 2010, a 12-person Canadian Team will be volunteering in Tanzania with Make A Difference Now (MAD) and will set foot on the world’s highest free standing mountain, Kilimanjaro. The week long trek with Adventures Within Reach ventures on the spectacular 6-day Machame Route.
Following the expedition to the summit, the team embarks for a week on an even greater journey to serve the needs of orphans in the village of Himo, Tanzania. At least $10,000 will be raised and invested for the construction materials and supplies of a science lab school classroom.
“The hands-on team building experience is an opportunity to learn, an opportunity that will be very rewarding. It’s important for us to give back,” said one of the team members, Gordon Tozer, President of ConCreate USL, a leading Canadian construction company.
The dynamic, all-Canadian team is coming from Lennoxville, Quebec and Toronto. Everyone is excited to give back and make a difference in the lives of the orphans. They are thankful to have already received an immense amount of support from friends and colleagues. In coming back to Canada they look forward to the opportunity to share within their respective communities both their experience and the specific needs of the orphans.
