skeptical• Short time to organize

know• Some personal meetings/sponsors• Radio stations pick it up• One act as ‘main media sponsor’ –
promoted it heavily

station• 1 live interview per day with

Very emotional moment
THE CHALLENGE…• Why don’t we do the same for the
GSP?• What will/can happen, not only in
terms of Fundraising, when we take 10-20 PLWHA from different countries to the top of Kilimanjaro?
• What will happen if we pray from that mountain, asking God to bless the GSP in Africa?
I ALSO BELIEVE…• The Africa AIDS services/office
should be expanded with:•A communications officer (someone who can tell the ‘world’ how effective this project is);•A Africa GSP fundraiser, who can hook the big fishes!
