This post is for those in the Ottawa, Canada area and for those who don’t mind travelling a little. We are holding two events this year in support of Plan Canada’s initiative to help young women and youth in Tanzania start small businesses. The businesses lift the participants out of the cycle of poverty they are in and give them a sense of purpose and pride. The money they earn means that they can pay the rent and send their children to school. Every dollar we raise goes to Plan Canada for the project and the federal government contributes $3 for every $1 we raise.  Both events will be detailed soon in the Events section. In the meantime, here are some teasers:

August 25 – 4th Annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids Tournament – at the Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club in Smiths Falls. This tournament gets better and better each year. It is a fun-filled event for golfers and wannabe golfers. Tournament fees include door prizes, silent auction items and more. It is a great time for all.

October 25 – Education for Africa Variety Show – at Greenfield’s in Barrhaven. This will be a family oriented event with a surprise performer (at least for now), door prizes and silent auction items.

We hope to see you at one or both. Help us help the people of Tanzania!
