I have been scuba diving for over three years now, and have used this forum a little bit.
Recently I took up a charity challenge to help raise money for an organization (VSO) which helps underprivileged children in Africa. The challenge comes in two parts for me:
1) I help raise the funds which all goes to VSO and is used to train volunteers and send them to Africa for one year. These volunteers teach children, provide medical support, and build (e.g., schools)
2) Out of my own personal funds, I will go travel to E. Africa, with other trekkers to visit some of these kids, the volunteers and the place where the money will be utilized. Then, to symbolize the trek, we will climb Mt Kilimanjaro to symbolize reaching our summit goal.
