Team NFB and SF Lighthouse

 

Just wanted to reach out  to the NFB SF chapter and the SF Lighthouse
community to highlight a rare opportunity for 2  blind adventurers and their
sighted guides.  A group of us from North America have organized a Mount
Kilimanjaro Summit Adventure through a well respected outfitter which
provides expertly guided climbs to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.  This is to
be an adventure  focusing on persons with visual disabilities and the hope
is to set a world record for the most number of sight impaired persons to
summit one of the 7 summits . Due to some injuries, there are two slots now
available on the climb and I wanted to see if anyone from the NFB SF Chapter
or and / or SF Lighthouse community could circulate among its sphere of
influences the opportunity.  Post climb, there will be an opportunity to go
on an African Safari in Tanzania, again focusing on persons with visual
disabilities and their sighted guides.  .  The goal will be to begin the
summit climb on October 1, 2025, with an arrival time a few days before to
prepare for the adventure.  This is a once in a lifetime type of opportunity
and I want to make sure that all slots on the climb are filled by those who
may want to create a memory of a lifetime.   There is no funding for this
trip so all are on their own financially, but there are economies of scale
for the trip costs. 

 

I will stop there and open myself up to any questions anyone interested may
have about the trip My email is wtr1977 at yahoo.com <mailto:wtr1977 at yahoo.com>
if anyone would like to ask any and all questions they have about the trip.
