News20 October 2005General • Only Five Spots left for Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb From January 10-20 2006, you now have the opportunity to not only help educate the children of Uganda but also quench your thirst for travel and adventure. Global Volunteer Network has created a fundraising hike to Mount Kilimanjaro. In addition to climbing one of the world's highest mountains, participants of the Mount Kilimanjaro Climb will have the satisfaction of knowing that their money will go directly to the construction of a school for AIDS orphans in Uganda, Africa. Participants of this fundraiser will also have the opportunity to journey to Uganda where they will have the chance to volunteer in the community their funds will directly benefit. Please visit http://communityfund.volunteer.org.nz/uganda and http://gvnnewzealand.blogspot.com for more information about the Mt Kilimanjaro climb. 19 October 2005 Vietnam • Vietnam Fundraising Appeal The orphanage in Da Nang currently takes care of 35 babies in the age range of 0-3 years old. Thanks to the support of many people all over the world, enough money has been raised to hire a medical staff to attend to these babies' health needs on a regular basis. However, there is one premature 3-month-old boy by the name of Lan that cannot benefit from this new medical care. For more information on Lan, and on how you can help him, please visit http://www.volunteer.org.nz/communityfund/vietnam. 3 October 2005 Ecuador • Machu Picchu Trek In August 2006 we will be hiking to Machu Picchu in Peru to raise funds for endangered rainforest in Ecuador. After the hike we will fly to Ecuador where we will visit Ecuador's Amazon Rainforest. These rainforests are among the most threatened pristine forest eco-systems on the planet. Our partner in Ecuador created the Amazon Biological station in 1986 to address their rapid destruction. The funds raised from this trip will allow our partner to buy additional land within two of their reserves and increase their infrastructure on the Galapagos Islands. Please visit http://communityfund.volunteer.org.nz/ecuador/ for more details about this exciting adventure. |
