just a reminder that our former director of the Division of
Blind services Craig Kiser is in Africa about to attempt to climb mount
Kilimanjaro.
Please note the link in the message to see the link to support this endeavor
to donate to the Blind Services Foundation of Florida.  Craig is now
Executive Director of the foundation and I am pleased to serve as Vice
Chairman of this state chartered non profit in Florida.

Thank you for your support and consideration.

At Mandara Hut, which is a group of wooden A-framed huts in a forest
clearing and also a good place to sleep for your first night. Each hut
features 6-8 sleeping bunks with solar generated lighting. The total
capacity of the camp is 60 climbers. Water is piped into the camp from
springs above and there are flush toilets behind the main hut.
