Running For Moshi

Running For Moshi
Story
Hi there!
Philippa and Mimi are running the Great Wall Marathon in China on the 17th of May 2014.
We have joined forces to help Team Vista and the community Kololeni in Moshi Tanzania.
We are running for a cause that's close to our hearts. We appreciate any contribution, big or small. Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to Team Vista!
We are going to have to climb over 5,000 stairs on the Great Wall - so we are training hard!
The goal at Team Vista is to help a community learn through education to help itself. We have a number of projects underway to achieve this goal, 100% of the donations goes to the community:
- To provide Education for children
- Oportunity to create small busineses
Poverty is endemic in Moshi, and many people try to survive by picking through the local rubbish dump to find items to sell. We have also been able to take 9 women off the dump and have taught them sewing skills. They now have a small business, selling their skirts, bags, lap top bags etc to a shop in town and in Australia via Team Vista and Etsy. They have their own income and they too are using the community bank.
The whole focus is to give these people a hand...so they can help themselves. The families whose children we sponsor ALL give back in some way, sometimes by providing an extra piece of wood for cooking, but usually they come to help clean the school, help clear the grounds, help with planting crops, which we provide. We work WITH this community not FOR this community. If you would like anymore information and would like to help please visit the website www.teamvista.com.au.
Thanks so much for your support!

UPDATE
We did it! After 5,164 steps, here we are at the finish! Thanks again to everyone who supported us both.

Team Vista - Kilimianjaro Kids with Futures Education Centre (Global Development Group - J624N)
Team Vista is a Global Development Group (GDG) approved aid and development project J624N, which contribute to the reduction of poverty and achievement of sustainable development in Tanzania through its project in Kaloleni, a community with no electricity that suffers from a high rate of HIV and with many children being raised by a single parent or grandparent.
Team Vista has many children requiring sponsorship to attend either the Nursery School or the Primary School. To date Team Vista has purchased for the community the existing one room Nursery school and have built a second classroom, painted, new roof over the entire building, provided educational equipment, connected electricity, added a rain water tank and are now funding the building of a new toilet block. The children now receive a meal each day and with additional funding we hope to have a complete medical check done on all our school children this year.
In addition to the above, Team Vista also aim to develop and promote community businesses such as farming and aquaculture to increased economic growth of families and the local area.
