On the 2nd July 2015 at 9 am, a group of staff and students of St Dominic's 6th form college reached the summit of Africa's highest mountain - Mount Kilimanjaro at 5895m! This huge achievement raised over £14,000 for Kujali's orphan support programme in Moshi, Tanzania. Of the 20 staff and students that started the climb, 16 successfully reached the summit and descended safely after 7 days of hard walking and climbing.
The group did exceptionally well and were faced with many varied challenges along the way. As part of the visit, the group also met the orphans that Kujali is supporting, at the Rainbow Centre, and had the opportunity to mingle and make some new friends. The orphans were given school bags, t-shirts and stationary, all of which were collected by the students at St Dominics before embarking on the journey. The students of St Dominics have described the trip as a life changing experience.
Well done and thank you from Kujali!
