Why blog, you ask?

I, Skarbs, HIKED the 3 highest peaks in Africa in January of 2012, all to raise money for the 3 "peak issues" in East Africa: Education, Health, and Environment. East Africa is a place close to my heart. I know the difference that love, belief, and understanding can make in this beautiful part of the world. Join with me as I REFLECT back on this amazing journey!

Breakfast by Meshek and Moses. Best cooks ever.

  1. So excited for you! And proud of you. You are an amazing young woman. I can't wait for you to come back and tell the youth (and me) all about your adventure. What a great inspiration!
