Nairobi and Kilimanjaro, here we come...

We've trained hard all summer. We've got all our shots -- yellow fever, typhoid, etc... we're armed with Malaria and altitude sickness pills. We wrapped up our most recent fundraiser on Saturday, the Gourmet Bake Sale. We've done some reflecting and writing on what this trip means to us. Tomorrow we pack our bags, check our lists, go to school for one more day, and then we begin our journey.

11 girls.
2 founders (Leanne & Jane).
2 TDSB faculty members (Wendy & Felicia).
1 Olympic Champ (Marnie).
1 mentor / blogger (Laura).
2 documentary crew (Roz on video, Catherine on photos).

We hope you'll follow us for the next 2 weeks on this blog. We're going by the motto "TIA (This is Africa)"... so while we THINK we're all prepared to surf on the zebras' WiFi, you just never know, so bear with us! We're going to attempt to post a little journal entry and some photos everyday...

Keep us in your thoughts. Spread the word.

THIS is what a girl can do...
