The Kilimanjaro Project

<p> <em>We commited to raise by our owns the money given to our two charities. That's why, as you can see in the video, we have organised several fundraising activities such as street collections, stalls, dinners... We also have asked administrations and some companies to sponsor us, but are still waiting for answers... Although it is really hard to achieve, we are motivated, and know we will make it :)  </em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Therefore, this crowdfunding page will help us for the climb and the production of the video. </strong></p> <p> Flight tickets, visas, vaccines, all of that is already paid. However, we haven't had the money to invest in propper trekking equipment yet. </p> <p>  </p> <p> Because <strong>climbing Mount Kilimandjaro is not a stroll</strong>, nor a common trek, we can't go there with random equipment. We're gonna go up to 5,895 meters of altitude, our days are gonna count up to 12 hours of walk, and our nights - 25°C (-13°F) ! </p> <p> Moreover, we really want <strong>to record good-quality pictures and audio</strong> of what we're going to see and hear : we're gonna go through 5 types of landscapes, and haul ourselves to the highest view spot in Africa... Likewise, we want <strong>to show you the reality of this year of fundraising and this week of climbing</strong>, to show hard moments as well as the good ones, the ones of sharing. So that we can broadcast<strong> the most authentic, genuine and humane video</strong>. And prove that solidarity still exists amongst the youth, that there is <strong>hope for the future</strong>. </p> <p>  </p> <p> That's why we need some help to buy<strong> the adequate equipment</strong> that will help us achieve our aims, and that is quite expensive (sleeping bags for extremely cold conditions, resistant travel bags, HD camera -Go Pro or Go Pro like -, sturdy trekking shoes ... everything for two !!) </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>We really want to insist on the fact that climbing Kilimanjaro is not a leisure holiday. Besides being a physical challenge that will require a lot of preparation, its aim is to support morally and financially a charity that we think is worth it, and to invite our friends, our families, our readers to take part in this experience, by accepting this challenge :)</em></p> <p>  </p>
