Delivery

I have received a very encouraging email from Paul Temple, it looks like our trip can coincide with a trip Paul is arranging for late September early October. There is lots happening in Luhimba at the moment, this planned trip is to delivery a 17 tonne truck, full of medical, educational and farming equipment.This could be very exciting and I'm hoping we can really help out in the delivery of this equipment. They have recently finished building a large 20 bed extension on to the dispensary and have now setup 30 small businesses through a new fund, setup by the Luhimba Project, that lets the villages borrow money to help micro level entrepreneurs get started.

The secondary school attendance is growing and some of the children having even taken their O' Levels. This is all great progress and is a clear sign that the hard work and generosity is really paying off. It's amazing how much effect you can have on other peoples live by giving some of your love and time.

We plan to climb Kilimanjaro to help raise money and awareness for Luhimba and similiar projects in other parts of Africa too. There is a constant struggle in Africa, with proverty, war, corruption, poor education and health! All these things need to be addressed on a micro and macro level. If we can do our bit and in the process, encourage you or people like you to help or just to be aware of what's going on, then awareness and aid can spread, in our one world how is it that we can be sat in front of a computer connected to an ever growing network of knowledge and communication and yet in Africa extreme poverty and civil war are rife?

It doesn't make a lot of sense does it? Knowledge and our awareness is key..
