There might be less of charity this
year because the groundwork for the preparations for the fund raising
drive has been inadequate. Before departure, scheduled for the 22nd
September 2011 I will decide whether it will be possible to launch an
effective funding appeal or postpone this appeal for the next climb.
The other aspect of this year's climb
is the decision by a renowned American film director, Jim Becket, to
shoot a documentary film during the climb. Jaffar Amin is also
joining me to climb again Kilimanjaro this year following our plans
during last year's climb to raise more funds for a charitable cause.
Jim has decided that the documentary
will cover a range of subjects, including the environment and how it
affects Lake Victoria and Mount Kilimanjaro. Since Jaffar will also
join the climb, Jim wants to explore the past historical relations
between Tanzania and Uganda and how these have changed, focusing on
what Jaffar and I have done.
Swiss national Andrea Wobmann who has
worked as a volunteer in Mwanza is also joining this climb.
