Summit 4 Hope 2012 Update

A group of big-hearted, high-energy Heart for Africa volunteers came up with a creative and exciting new way to raise funds for Project Canaan in Swaziland.  It started with the idea of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa, and grew to include climbing Swaziland, Taiwan, Canada, and four states in the United States.

The 2nd Annual Summit 4 HOPE event was a tremendous success!  Not only have all the teams reached their summits safely thus far, but they also raised a tremendous amount of money, and were able to pray corporately and globally for the orphans and vulnerable children of Africa.  It is wonderful to see individuals from around the world come together to support the people of Swaziland.

We still have one team to go!  Team Kenya will be summiting Mt. Kenya on August 14th, so please pray for their success and safety as Robert Smucker climbs this highly technical mountain.  

So far, the teams have collectively raised nearly $40,000.00!  This will go a long way to support the various and necessary water projects currently underway on Project Canaan.

Thank you Robert Smucker for having the original idea and for making this whole thing happen.  Thank you team leaders James Liao and Francis Chou, Anthony Mutua, Bree Friedl and Jenny Keeton, Bobby Ramjist, Laurie Wagner, Zack Swire, Wolfgang Buehler, Rona Nix, and Howard Hodel, for doing such an amazing job recruiting, fundraising and inspiring so many to be involved.  Thank you to our climbers, donors and prayer partners for your support in this tremendous endeavor.  Your desire, passion and support are infectious, and have certainly brought HOPE to a nation in desperate need of it.  Most importantly we give thanks to our Lord and Savior for safety, protection, provision, love and for choosing us to be a part of this great work. 

If you would like to participate in Summit 4 Hope 2013 in your state or country, please email strib@heartforafrica.org and help us expand this initiative for 2013.
