Dear Friends,
There is an immediate opportunity for the village of Matapwili that requires minimal funds over the next couple of months. The opportunity is to assist the village in a fish farming venture. Fish farming is proven to have worked extremely well in other areas of Tanzania and all that is required is $2000 for training and equipment in order to provide a viable source of protein for the villagers with commercial market potential.
How can you help?
To raise funds for this worthwhile project, Team Canzania member Edye St. Hill is participating a sailing challenge from the British Virgin Islands to Toronto and looking for pledges of $5, 10$, $20, or whatever you can afford. Edye will be doing the leg from New York City to Toronto beginning May 19th. Our sponsors will be invited to to a cocktail party on board “Sophisticated Lady” a 50 foot Jeanneau and “L’attitude’s” a 42′ Catalina in Toronto Harbour tentatively set for June 12th. An e-mail invitation with the details will be sent out to sponsors in the coming weeks. The boats will be available for personal or corporate charters in Toronto Harbour from June to October with teambuilding activities available aboard. See www.Windinmysails.com for trip updates, details of the boats and www.Bigfishinteractive.com for teambuilding opportunities.
Please check back for updates on the sailing challenge! We’re planning to blog about our progress.
