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!

Visit to SIC

After our celebration at St. Judes, the next day we headed to Support for International Change (SIC), an organization that works on HIV/AIDS testing, and prevention in the areas surrounding Arusha Town.  They work very closely with the community leaders of the villages they are present in, and run support groups for people affected by AIDS.  We spent the day with Kati Regan, the Regional Director of SIC in Tanzania. She and some of her staff spent the morning talking about their programming, and then we headed out to a field project in the afternoon!
