And they're off!

Just heard from the group. They have had a good start. They spent the day in Moshi yesterday. Moshi is a small city at the base of Kilimanjaro. This is where the Amani Children's home is located. They spent the day preparing for their climb by doing a practice hike, and getting together all of their gear. They finished the day with a team pizza dinner (carbo loading!). Today they are off to Machame Gate, the start of their 8 day mountain trek. The sun is shining....
