What is Mount Kenya doing here? Well most of us will be training at high altitude when we get to Kenya and Mount Kenya offers us the best option for altitude training.

HIV Affecting African Democracy

HIV Affecting African Democracy

Some of Africa's elected leaders and most-active citizens are losing their lives to HIV -- and democracy itself may be suffering as a result, a new report says. The study, by South Africa's Institute for Democracy, says that so many African leaders are dying from HIV that the growth and stability of many African democracies may be at risk.

This story is one that all our Politicians and Corporate leaders should read and act on. Those of you who read this web site please pass the link to those who may take notice and do something.

Trivia Night Raises $1,045

Brian McIness and Sharon Daishe

Table D3 Trivia Night.

From Sharon Daishe:

Rural Lands Protection Board Manager Association Trivia Night raises $1,045

Each year I attend an annual conference of managers of Rural Lands Protection Boards. Conference usually has a fine session for a local charity. I wrote to the manager association to ask whether they would be willing to ask conference to donate the fines to Kili 28/8. Instead, the association decided to run a trivia night which was held on the first evening, Tuesday 22 May 2007.

Everyone entered into the spirit of the fundraising – points were auctioned and bought by losing tables (like mine….) and the winners donated their prizes back for auction. The auctioneer for the evening had a sore throat for the rest of the week from urging the bids higher and the wonderful result was $1,045 raised.

A big thank you to the manager association and my RLPB colleagues for a night of fun and generosity.

Well done Sharon.
