[Nfbf-l] Fw: Progress of Craig Kisor climb of Mount K

[petercerullo at aol.com]

How exciting!  I am in awe of the courage this dedicated individual has portrayed in his recent pursuit to climb Mount K.  I pray that his inspiration ignites a passion throughout the blind and visually impaired community, so that they too can find the strength to take on the everyday challenges faced in this predominately sighted world that we live in.  Craig, hip hip hurray!  Your friend, Peter

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.
