Welcome to the KILI 28/8 Project!

On the 28/08/07 a group of fun loving Rotarians and Friends climbed the breathtaking Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in Africa. The climbers are still raising urgent monies to assist in the relief of some desperate situations there for orphans in Africa. We welcome any persons interested in supporting us by calling John Glassford (02) 6927 6027. The situation in Africa needs immediate help please.

Profiles from the Front Lines of Africa's AIDS War

I have just finished reading this amazing book, 28 stories in one book. It is a MUST read for anyone contemplating doing something to ease the burden of AIDS in Africa.



'28: Stories of AIDS in Africa'

by Stepahnie Nolen

The new book 28: Stories of AIDS in Africa profiles one person whose life has been affected by AIDS for every million people living with the disease on the continent. (i.e. 28 million.)



Tigist Haile Michael and her brother Yohannes were orphaned by AIDS. They live on their own in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

This story can be seen here:

Just one of the many reasons we are climbing Kilimanjaro in August.
