An announcement from one of the other TED 2010 fellows:
The Chain reaction project will be taking part in the annual Kili(MAN)jaro to raise funds and awareness for Amani Children's Home. Members will be doing all or part of the 3 stage race that entails summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro, a two day mountain bike race around Mt. Kilimanjaro and running a full marathon.
Money raised will go towards purchasing a larger farm for Amani Children's Home, allowing the orphanage -
- to grow enough maize and other crops to use throughout the year
- to raise animals (cows, goats, chickens) for food and extra income (selling eggs, chicks, etc.)
- to teach the children animal husbandry (an essential skill in Tanzania)
- to use as a transition home for older Amani youth who can learn to manage a small farm before going out on their own
