“Climb for Community Living” is underway. Our climbers, Matt MacKay and Loren Tempel left yesterday from Vancouver International Airport for Arusha, Tanzania. They will begin their climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro on Friday, February 10, 2006.

Their daily progress can be viewed on the British Columbia Association for Community Living’s (BCACL) website at http://www.bcacl.org/mount_kilimanjaro/index.cfm

It is anticipated that the first web cast from Mt. Kilimanjaro will be on February 11. BCACL is expecting that the news will reach them that morning, and their website will be updated by midday.
