In September 2004, a team of more than a dozen dedicated Montrealers challenged Mount Kilimanjaro, the Roof of Africa, to raise funds to help mothers and children affected by HIV and AIDS in Africa. This very successful endeavor is being repeated once more in the Zerf Challenge 2005. We invite you to sponsor, or make a contribution to one participant for this year's challenge.

 

The money raised is used to purchase medicine, food, water, and medical equipment and to build hospices to make life liveable for the mothers and children in the Cameroon, Congo, Chad, Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
