I joined 47 other adventurous Christian women in the Freedom Climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, at 19,340 ft, the highest mountain in Africa. The purpose of the climb was to raise awareness of human trafficking and to raise funds to support projects to combat human trafficking. Each of us had a goal of raising $10,000. And we came close; as a group we raised over $300,000!
I participated with eight other women from various parts of the U.S. as a Global Volunteer in Calderon, Ecuador. We were the 136th group of Global Volunteers to Ecuador. We worked in two child care centers that were founded by a group of women from Calderon to provide assistance to single and low-income mothers. Global Volunteers assisted in building the centers.
